It's now clear what the problem is with vibe coded remakes, remixes and games in general. This looks very interesting. But in the past couple of days I saw at least 5 interesting vibe coded games worth, in theory, spending hours on. There's no way I could consume this amount of content. Secondly, when I say "looks interesting", I mean that based on graphics and descriptions, it looks promising. Before AI, the visual quality was a great proxy for effort, and we could reasonably assume that the effort was spread around graphics, sound and gameplay. If not equally, gameplay would get at LEAST a bit of attention. Making good games requires attention to small details. And I have no idea if the author cared about these details at all. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. With so many alternatives and the loss of quality proxies, the rational choice is to, unfortunately, pass.
