    This game was so good, it's as if the developer was given a team of PhD-level experts to work on it.

    Funny idea but wow the gameplay is terrible and full of bugs. Bad hitboxes, shells that bounce in front of holes, bad physics.AI still cannot oneshot 2D platformers, the most documented videogame genre with so much source code available.

    Absolute fire. Love how Deepseek tortoise shell can only be slowed, not killed.

    Okay, so, maker here!I was expecting this to drown in the flood of /newest, so seeing so many folks get a chuckle out of this is a very pleasant surprise. The obvious spark for this was yesterday's second last-minute extension of the Fable promotional window (a phrase comprised of two heavily strained words at this point), and an hour or so of back-and-forth with GLM-5.2 and Opus later, here we are.The game is, of course, unwinnable on purpose. There is no ending. The flag always escapes, the date always extends, and new GPT releases will continue to wipe your valuation no matter how many coins or funding round power-ups you collect. The win condition is closing the tab because you're tired of it, which I'd argue makes it the most realistic AI-industry simulation currently available on the internet.The code is, of course, vibe-slopped, most of the imagery is original human-slop (or sourced from icon libraries). Happy to answer any and all questions and take any and all flak. The bugs are a part of the joke, I swear!

    I think you should try submitting it to anthropic community :)https://claude.com/community#:~:text=What,Claude%3F

    Wow, my entire feelings on this series of events summed up in a single game. Extra rich its vibe coded. We need more of this.

    Someone didn't know how to use the remaining credits.

    Desktop Safari 18.6 / Mac: Nice, but none of the text on the signs are readable. Just appears as unreadable dots. Also the music doesn't work on Safari.Firefox works great!

    The game is really cool, but I'm a bit dissapoint by the music. I want the original them song. Also the fact that the game is never ending bothers my OCD

    +1 for the claude icon fire bars

    Omg, so funny! I can’t believe I played this for like 5 min straightAre those little Sam Altmans?!Love the power ups: tokenmaxxing, usage reset

    After playing this game, I think it's time to launch 'vibe game design.' Now that the code is solved, it's time to release 'vibe game design,' 'vibe music design,' and 'vibe control design' for serious game design

    Out of all AI slops, this is best one and depicts what Dario's AI (Claude) is capable of.
  • einpoklum
    This reminded me of how much I suck at side-scroller arcade games. I keep missing those coins and falling off ledges... :-(Good thing I have a day job. Where I don't use AI.

    For all of the advertising of GPT 5.6 in this charming little game, the chatgpt.com UI has failed to load in the past several hours for me
  • kaeruct
    Why do the coins spin faster when I move?
  • forestingfisher
    Can’t believe this doesn’t already exist.
  • seydor
    The game must be banned for 6 months

    New Gemini model! Nobody cares. With the Gemini power-up falling off the screen got a chuckle out of me
  • meken
    The music reminds me of Mappy Land (one of my favorite childhood games).
  • helloplanets
    Shouldn't the valuation be in Bs instead of Ms?
  • thatxliner
    a perfect representation of the situation

    I mean, Sam should be more of a ghoul with those creepy sunken eyes. And Dario that guy with hair on the sides.
  • starik36

    There are plenty of critiques of the AI labs but it's a bit ironic leveling criticism in a game which was obviously one-shotted by their models and which would never have been made without AI
