Our Studio
A tiny Brisbane studio drawing worlds one rune at a time.
MetaRuneCanvas began in a share-house near James Street in Fortitude Valley, where four friends wanted a mobile game that felt like keeping a sketchbook rather than grinding a timer. Every rune, creature, and biome is hand-illustrated and hand-animated in-house.
We ship a free content chapter every six weeks, read every review, and keep the game free of forced ads and pay-to-win mechanics. Just you, a canvas, and the runes you dream up.

What you can do
Six ways MetaRuneCanvas plays unlike anything else.
No two canvases ever look the same — here is what keeps weavers coming back.
Freehand Rune Painting
Draw any shape on the canvas and our engine reads its strokes into a real, castable spell — no menus, no crafting grids.
Living Biomes
Plant a fire rune and watch ember-grass creep outward; sketch water and marshes bloom. Every world grows from what you draw.
Gentle Weaver Duels
Turn-based, no reflexes required. Out-think opponents with clever rune combos in 90-second friendly matches.
Offline Sketch Mode
The full painting canvas works on the train or a plane. Your creations sync back the moment you're online again.
Weekly Rune Trials
Fresh community puzzles every Sunday with hand-drawn rewards you can't get anywhere else in the game.
Cross-Save & Cloud Canvas
Start on your phone at lunch, continue on your tablet at home. Your entire canvas library follows you everywhere.
In-game looks
A hand-drawn world, screen by screen.
Swipe through moments captured straight from the game — every pixel painted by hand.
Player love
Weavers can't put it down.
Real reviews from the App Store, Google Play and our player Discord.
“I've never played a mobile game that felt this calming. Drawing a rune and watching a whole meadow grow from it is pure joy — I sketch a new one every morning on the ferry.”
“The offline sketch mode saved my 14-hour flight to London. Came home with six new worlds and zero data used. Absurdly generous for a free game.”
“Duels are the first PvP I actually enjoy — no twitchy reflexes, just outsmarting someone with a clever fire-and-vine combo. My daughter and I play every night.”
“You can tell it's made by people who care. A new chapter drops every few weeks, no forced ads, and the devs actually reply on Discord. Rare these days.”
