# 3D vs 2D

Originally, **Cukies Island** was developed as a **3D open-world game**. While it looked beautiful, the **technical** **requirements** made it impractical for the initial phase, as many users couldn’t play smoothly on either PC or mobile devices.

That’s why we decided to create a **2D version**. Though visually simpler, it keeps the same **essence, mechanics, and gameplay** as the original. This version runs directly in **browsers**, so anyone can play without issues.

The **3D version** hasn’t been abandoned, it will return in later phases. Development continues, although it won’t initially affect the in-game economy or use the UKI token.
