ReddRevolt

Your Karma is Power. Join a faction, earn energy through upvotes, and lead your faction to victory in Reddit’s first real-time multiplayer strategy game.

Comment

ReddRevolt turns Reddit karma into power — a live, strategic battle for digital dominance. Built for the Reddit × Kiro Community Games Challenge, it transforms upvotes into a weapon and factional loyalty into gameplay.

Inspiration

Reddit thrives on communities and competition. We wanted to transform that energy into a live, social game — something where every upvote, post, and reaction directly shapes the outcome. ReddRevolt was born to make Reddit interactive, tactical, and alive.

How We Built It

Frontend: Devvit Web (React + TypeScript) for a native Reddit-style experience.

Backend: Devvit Functions and Kiro automation — for faction logic, round progression, and event triggers.

Kiro Hooks: Automate real-time energy updates when users upvote.

Steering Logic: YAML-based game rounds running daily, resetting faction scores and advancing leaderboards.

Persistence: GitHub version control with modular specs for faction, player, and energy models.

Challenges

Balancing energy mechanics so casual users and power players could both enjoy gameplay.

Implementing real-time faction updates inside Reddit’s ecosystem using Kiro’s automation.

Creating a persistent multi-round game using Devvit’s evolving APIs.

What We Learned

The power of merging community behavior (upvotes, comments) with live game logic.

How to structure autonomous game rounds using Kiro’s specs, hooks, and steering.

How to build scalable multiplayer logic directly inside Reddit’s interface.
