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

Can’t believe this doesn’t already exist.

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

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.

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

The game must be banned for 6 months

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

Shouldn't the valuation be in Bs instead of Ms?

Like political satire, only in 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.

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

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!

No mobile support.

New Gemini model! Nobody cares. With the Gemini power-up falling off the screen got a chuckle out of me

Why do the coins spin faster when I move?
