Leaf Shooter

A bubble shooter type game where players aim and fire colored leaves to match 3+ of the same color. Matched leaves pop, and any leaves no longer connected to the ceiling fall. Features continuous level progression, particle effects, sound, watercolor paper texture throughout, and autumnal theme with automatic light/dark support. Think of it as something to do when you’re on a long call. Built with React, TypeScript, and originally with Canvas but now ported to PixiJS (thanks, Safari!). Closed source.
