Claude (Anthropic), Opus models, in the claude.ai app. Claude wrote all the code, drew every character and scene in code (no image files), composed and synthesized all the music and sound effects in the browser, and tested each version on simulated phones and laptops. I directed, play-tested on an iPhone, and asked for changes over many rounds.

Clever use of theme and simple game mechanics. It's a short and simple game that I can see myself using as a distraction!
Thank you so much! A quick distraction is exactly what I was going for. And thanks for coming over after my comment on Bara, I really enjoyed the night market and its animals.
It looks like a small, simple minigame at first, but there are surprisingly many levels! Really fun and addictive to play, though my eyes started to feel a little strained after playing for a while haha.
Thank you so much for playing, and for coming back after my comment on Draw Before Dark! Ha, sorry about your eyes, the worlds do get bright and busy. That's really useful feedback, I'll look at calming the later levels down a bit in a post-jam update.
Super découverte ! Je viens tout juste de tester ton jeu suite à ton commentaire sur Oil Kong, et franchement, c'est super fun et complètement loufoque ! 🪱✨
Le concept de tape-taupe revisité avec des vers quantiques et des objets possédés fonctionne super bien. L'ambiance colorée et la variété des mondes rendent le tout très addictif.
Techniquement, c'est vraiment impressionnant de savoir que tout est généré en pur code par Claude sans aucun fichier externe. Le rendu graphique minimaliste et les animations sont super propres pour une Jam. Chapeau pour la direction de projet et les 140 versions de peaufinage, le résultat est top ! 🎮🚀
its actually very fun, was not expecting much but i had fun testing it out.
Good game!
Thanks so much! "Wasn't expecting much but had fun" might be my favorite review yet. I'm going to go guard the flame in HUNGERETH now.
Cute, funny, silly game.
Thanks so much! Cute, funny and silly is exactly what I was going for. I'll go play CARRY THE LIGHT this morning.
I love this game . I can play it many times. Congrats!!!
Thank you so much! Run, Little Bunny's music was so soothing, a lovely game.
I love this game . I can play it many times. Congrats!!!
A wonderfully psychedelic vibe, and I loved it. It’s like a whack-a-mole fever dream during the flu. Bonus points for the gnomes: I’m a big fan of gnomes, and they never fail to win me over.
And I read that you went through 140 versions, which explains why the chaos feels so carefully tuned. Great work! 🍄
A whack-a-mole fever dream is the best description yet! 😄 Fellow gnome fan, thank you!
Hi!
Thanks for submitting your game to the jam! I thought it was really cool and it was fun to play. I especially liked the moving levels like "The Yard" or "Halloween Campfire", because there was just a bit more action. At "Halloween Campfire" it was almost a little too much movement for me, I just clicked on everything that moved :D
If you want to keep working on the game, I would recommend putting a bit more energy into the graphics of the levels.
And an idea (if its okay): maybe add objects that you are not allowed to shoot. I'm not even sure if that's already in the game, sometimes donuts fly through the world or in "The Yard" a dog shows up. Maybe I already got minus points for shooting them and I just didn't notice :D But if not, objects that give you minus points would be a nice idea.
It would make me really happy if you find the time to play and rate my game too :)
Gorgeous visuals! Watching the glowing worm trails race over the blender, toaster and kettle and then angry eyes pop out of the appliances is such a fun idea, and the "+100" with the combo counter — then the pink fridge with red eyes popping up right away — feels snappy. Honest feedback since you asked: on my first try the worms started moving while "SPARKLER GNOME! TAP IT!" was still on screen, and I lost all five before I'd finished reading. A short pause (or a slower first worm) would really help first-time players. I also wasn't sure what "Leave it alone." meant at first. Really impressive that it's all drawn and synthesized in the browser — 140+ versions is dedication!
I have completed it in the first run,hehe.. Good,very good, ai game...
The goofy music and the chaos of clicking mysterious bugs were so funny!
I couldn't help playing it all the way to the end!
Merry Christmas! 🎄
I just love how chaos this game can be while I was busy clicking everything on the screen like crazy, good work!
Thank you! Chaos is exactly the idea, I’m glad the clicking frenzy landed. 😄
Fun little game! The mechanics are simple and easy to understand, and I like how the scenery changes as you progress. It does feel a bit repetitive after a while, but it's a nice casual experience overall. Good work!
Thanks so much! Fair point on the repetition, that’s really useful, and I’ll think about more variety between worlds.
Not on the topic of the contest. But a very good, fun Halloween game.
thanks the torch thing was all over, the way the worms burst into flames, the torches in the castle flare when things are hit, a bunch of other things glad you enjoyed it
It’s a very interesting game. The difference between the mobs is amazing.
thanks really appreciate it, 140 versions before I stopped omg
The SFX are so satisfying!
thanks for playing the sfx were some of my favorite parts to make glad you enjoyed them
Interesting game concept:) for me - a bit too much going on at one time, but it’s original for sure:) not matching the theme tho:/ but I did enjoy playing it:) really cool game:)
I tried to get everything to torch, the worms when you hit them , the torches in the castle and in holloween all flare up when you ht something, flame is super hard to render properly . Thanks for playing . The idea was to make things I wanted to hit instead of the worms, like the flying saucer and the sharks, because if you you don't focus on the worms you lose , so there were a lot of distraction targets, like the gnomes and Dracula and the dinosaurs.
Easy to get into, no instructions needed. And something about the look and the sounds made it weirdly addictive — I kept going longer than I planned!
Fun clicky game!! Love the halloween touches and the creative idea about worms possessing things. Rated!
Thank you so much! Glad the Halloween touches landed. Happy Halloween, and good luck with Nine Laps! 🐱🎃
Thank mew!!! Happy Meowloween! 🐈⬛🎃👻
