Tinker · 7" OLED handheld for indie games
Tinker
Your favorite indie games, together in one handheld.
Works with your itch.io library. Sign in once, and the games you bought, bundled and saved from jams show up on one shelf you can carry.
Why Tinker
The games you love most come from small creators. A bundle from last spring, a jam entry from a friend, a demo you meant to finish. They end up spread across downloads and folders. Tinker puts them on one shelf, in one device that fits in a bag.
Power on · inside Tinker
01 · One piece
A magnesium-alloy back shell, 1.4 mm thin, milled from one block. The grips are shaped from 3D scans of 400 hands.
02 · Inside
A vapor chamber pulls heat off the chip, so the one fan can stay at 24 dB. Two battery cells give you up to 9.5 hours of 2D games.
03 · Feel
Voice-coil haptics in both grips. Hall-effect sticks sense a magnet, so there are no contacts to wear down and nothing to drift.
04 · Power on
Opens on your shelf.
Your itch.io library, synced and sorted the way you left it.

Details
Details you feel before you notice.
Five things Tinker does with your hands, one per panel.
02
Three-stop triggers
2 mm for shooters, 9 mm for racing. Switch on the back, no menu.
03
Two-voice haptics
Each grip has its own actuator, so rain on the left feels different from footsteps on the right.
04
Quiet under load
24 dB with the fan at 100%. Quieter than a library reading room.
05
Three games, mid-run
Pause a game, open another from the shelf, and come back to the same frame. Up to three at once.
Library
Every indie game you own, on one shelf.
Sign in with your itch.io account once. The games you bought, claimed in bundles or saved from jams sync to Tinker, and you sort them into collections that travel with you.

Concept project by Victor Cavalcante. Design and front-end.
- The brief
A launch page for a fictional handheld made for indie games, in one HTML file with no photos. Every visual is built in code with three.js, canvas and SVG.
- Where people get stuck
A handheld for small games only makes sense if your games are already there. So the page shows a real shelf of games before the final reservation, and lets you play one.
- Decisions
One pinned teardown where each layer lifts straight out before it moves aside, so no part crosses another. A filterable shelf instead of a feature list. Motion only on transform and opacity, with full reduced-motion and keyboard paths.
- What I'd test next
Whether moving the library above the teardown raises reserve clicks.
Tinker, its games and their creators are fictional. Concept, self-initiated. Design and front-end by Victor Cavalcante.
