Game Features
- Merge & Upgrade Crafting — Drag two identical items together on the 5×5 board and they combine into the next tier. Five levels per chain: from a plain 香草甜筒 vanilla cone up to the 星光旗舰冰山 flagship iceberg sundae.
- Four Supply Chains, 20 Archive Entries — 甜筒补给 ice cream, 奶昔补给 drinks, 商场杂物 mall sundries and 后厨异常 back-kitchen anomalies — each chain hides five collectible items in the 爆品档案 menu & secret-line archive.
- Steve & Robin as Counter Partners — Your coworkers react in real time: Steve narrates every merge with deadpan dignity, Robin snarks at wrong deliveries, and the clerk portrait changes mood from smile to serious to angry.
- Order Delivery & Heat System — Fulfil the current order to earn 热度 heat, climb 班次 shifts and unlock deeper orders — and the archive keeps every item you have discovered (档案 x/20).
- Hawkins Secrets in Every Tier — Russian notes, a glowing green key, Soviet machine parts and mirror shards slip into the supply chain — the mall's third basement level is definitely not a storage room.
- Instant Browser Play — Runs directly in your browser with no download or install; your shift is saved automatically, so the counter is exactly how you left it.
Interface
Production Process Breakdown
AI builds the Hawkins Town world from the IP seed — 1980s Indiana, the Starcourt Mall, the Upside Down and the party of kids who keep saving everyone. The world brief locks the American comic / Bande Dessinée visual style and the mall-era 1985 setting, with the Scoops Ahoy-style 水手冰激凌（星光商场店）location as the stage.
The app's art is generated through the world's own prompt pipeline: a 6×6 pixel-art sprite sheet with all 20 merge items plus the clerk portraits, and a wide cinematic scene of Steve and Robin behind the counter with a subtle hairline crack in the tiles. Every item icon is then cut out with BiRefNet into a transparent PNG and normalized for the merge board.
The game is packaged into a playable web app and published instantly — fully responsive, no download required. The merge logic, order system, heat and shift counters and the save-to-browser archive all run client-side, and the app is shared with a single public link.

"@史蒂夫·哈灵顿, Create a wide cinematic scene illustration of the Scoops Ahoy ice cream shop inside the Starcourt Mall, 1980s Hawkins. The shop is painted in bright pink and sky blue, with a nautical sailor theme: striped awning, porthole windows, anchor decorations, ice cream cone signage... @史蒂夫·哈灵顿 stands behind the counter in a blue sailor uniform and white sailor hat, looking slightly bored but handsome. Next to him, a female coworker Robin in a matching sailor uniform is leaning on the counter, looking sharp and sarcastic... IMPORTANT DETAIL: on the shop floor, there is one very subtle hairline crack in the tile, almost invisible, and one fluorescent light flickers slightly green above the counter — a tiny hint that something is wrong underground. Style: American comic style and Bande Dessinée, clean ink lines, vibrant retro colors, cinematic wide composition."
