What is Sketch to Game?
Sketch to Game is one of Gummy’s most magical features. Instead of describing your game in words, you draw it by hand — a rough sketch of a level layout, a character silhouette, or a world map — and Gummy’s AI interprets your drawing and builds a real, playable game from it.How to use Sketch to Game
1
Open the Create screen
From the home screen, tap Create. On the prompt screen, tap the Sketch icon (pencil icon, top right).
2
Draw your idea
Use your finger or stylus on the canvas. You can draw:
- Level layouts — platforms, walls, gaps, ramps, and paths
- Characters — rough outlines of your player character or enemies
- Environments — mountains, buildings, terrain features
- Objects — coins, doors, levers, hazards
3
Add an optional text hint
Below the canvas, add a short text description if you want to guide the interpretation:
"sci-fi dungeon", "underwater", "cartoon style".4
Tap Generate
Gummy analyzes your sketch and generates a playable game based on what you drew. This takes ~30–45 seconds.
5
Play and refine
Play the result and open the editor to fine-tune. You can use the full visual editor on any sketch-generated game.
Tips for great sketches
- Keep it simple — clean, clear shapes work better than detailed drawings
- Draw from the side for platformers — Gummy interprets side-view sketches as platformer levels
- Draw from above for top-down games — overhead sketches generate top-down shooters, RPGs, or maze games
- Mark hazards clearly — draw spikes, lava, or gaps distinctly from safe ground
- Use the text hint — even a single word like
"castle"or"jungle"dramatically improves the output
