AI Tools Used
Coding & Game Logic:
Anthropic Claude (Claude Code / Sonnet 3.5) — wrote the entire game logic, physics, UI system, and state management through iterative prompting. Used for brainstorming game mechanics, debugging, and structuring the project.
Visual Art:
AI image generators (Google Gemini / Midjourney-style tools) — created all visual assets: projection booth background, projector, film reels, control panel, viewer silhouettes, and kissing couples. All art was generated from text prompts in a noir black-and-white ink style with selective red accents.
Manual editing and compositing in image editor to arrange assets into the final game layout.
Audio:
ElevenLabs — generated the voice line "Ээээ, я всё вижу!" (Hey, I see everything!) for when the player catches a kissing couple.
ZzFX / AI-assisted sound design — created projector hum, film reel clicking, and ambient cinema sounds.
Theme interpretation (🔥TORCH🔥):
The "torch" in this game is the player's flashlight — the only source of light in the dark cinema. The player must keep the torch burning (managing the projector lamp temperature) while using it to expose rule-breakers. The torch represents truth and vigilance in the darkness.

Played it headless in Chrome at 960x640 and ran a simple bot shift. 0 errors in the console. The art is lovely, the hand hints teach the whole loop without a word of text, and the rising hearts are a good tell. Three things I measured:


1. It gets easy fast. My bot doesn't aim well: it cranks every 1.5 s, and when it sees red it grabs the flashlight, clicks about 20 px under the first heart, and puts the light back. It took 38 couple-clicks to get 15 catches and still hit 15/15 about 1:10 into the film, then got Legend of the Hall. So half the film is spare, and sloppy clicking isn't punished much yet. Some ideas: let catches past 15 count as a score, make couples kiss faster as the film goes on, or make the reel run down quicker while you hold the light.


2. After 15 the film never ended on its own. At about 2:40 the game was still waiting on the STOP prompt, so the 2:30 end on the page didn't fire. Maybe that's on purpose once you have 15, but the page reads like it always ends at 2:30.


3. The download is about 57 MB (index.wasm 39.5 MB + index.pck 17.6 MB) for one 2D screen. On phone data or a slow connection that's a long wait before the title. Most of the wasm is the stock Godot web template. The Godot docs page "Optimizing a build for size" shows how to build a template with 3D and unused modules turned off.
