Build A Squishy is a free 3D squishy creator that runs in your browser: pick a shape, color, finish, filling and sparkles from 46+ million combinations, watch your squishy form, then squeeze, stretch, poke and cut it open with material-aware ASMR sound.
No accounts, no ads, no downloads — creations live on your own device, and a share link rebuilds any squishy on a friend's screen without anything touching a server.
Fact sheet
| What | A premium 3D squishy-toy creator, collector and sandbox for the web browser |
|---|---|
| Who it's for | Kids ~8–11 at its core, playable from 5 up — and styled so anyone who likes satisfying things never feels it's "for kids" |
| Price | Free on the web. No ads, no upsells, nothing to buy in the browser. The iOS app offers a single optional one-time unlock (Squishy Deluxe) — no ads, no subscriptions, no purchasable currency |
| Platform | Any modern browser — desktop, tablet, phone, school Chromebook. Nothing to install. Also a native iOS app for iPhone and iPad — free on the App Store |
| Privacy | No accounts, no chat, no data collection; creations never leave the device. Built to COPPA's standard — plain-English privacy policy |
| Launched | August 2026 |
| Made by | Matt Uffalussy — an independent project (Gladio LLC), United States |
| Technology | React Three Fiber / WebGL 2, real-time soft-body deformation, layered ASMR audio. No backend: share links encode the entire squishy recipe in the URL itself |
What players do
- Design a squishy from 16 shapes, 74 colors, 29 finishes, 42 fillings and 32 sparkle add-ins — over 46 million combinations — and watch it magically form.
- Play with it: squeeze, poke, stretch and jiggle with material-aware sound, plus 16 tricks from Big Drop to Slow-Mo.
- Cut it open and play with the insides — taffy pulls, slime, and a "Keep the Insides" remix mechanic.
- Collect and trade: 23 challenges, rare and legendary parts, a display shelf, and a trading floor of computer-run collector characters (never other people).
- Send a squishy to a friend — the link carries only the recipe, so the recipient gets a copy and nothing personal is shared.

The privacy story (why it matters)
Build A Squishy is built for an audience that includes kids under 13, so it takes the strictest possible posture: there is no backend at all. Creations are stored in the browser; sharing works through a link that encodes the squishy's "recipe" in the link itself, so nothing a player makes is ever uploaded. No accounts, no chat, no ads, no tracking for advertising — the full details are in the privacy policy.
About the maker
Build A Squishy is an independent project by Matt Uffalussy, a web developer in the United States. It started as a toy for his own kids and grew into a full creator-collector sandbox — built solo, tuned by hand, and kept deliberately free of the things that make parents nervous.
