Hi everyone! I built MicroJoyz to spread some joy!
It was officially launched on reddit in November 2025 and since then we have around 1000 users on the app providing good feedback. MicroJoyz has been developed further and now has a free 3 day trial and a Lifetime Purchase of $9.99USD
Top 3 Features.
The characters walk around and talk to you throughout the day via speech bubbles. (These are frequently updated messages, not AI generated) There are a variety of topics but mostly they are helpful reminders e.g "Drink some water", or "fix your posture” along side the occasional joke or fun fact.
Portal Messaging: Send a message to another user by making your character run through a portal then appear on your friends screen with your message appearing as a speech bubble. (Friends not included)
Reminders: Set your own reminders that pop up as big, colourful speech bubbles. They are only on screen for a short time so maybe don't use this for a super serious reminder...
Other features included are arcade mode, file drag and drop, multiple characters and proper physics.
Hope you like it and let me know what you think! :)
