Hey everyone, I recently got laid off from my job as a videographer and editor. To keep myself busy and learn new skills, I decided to try making a video game despite having zero experience. I used the AI language model Claude Opus to write the game's code, and it blew me away with how much it could do. I created the backgrounds using AI tools like Dalle 3 and Adobe Generative Fill, but I'm still working on making my own sprites (using placeholders for now).
It's been a wild ride learning about game development and seeing how AI can help in the process. I'm considering monetizing the game in the future, but it's still pretty rough in its current state. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what I could do to polish it up and make it more marketable. Also, I'd love to hear your thoughts and any experiences you've had with AI-assisted projects. Feel free to check out the game and let me know what you think! Please also feel free to post to the official forum on the games website.
P.S. This is still a work in progress, and the game currently does not restart from the beginning on level 3, so unfortunately the game ends on level 3. THIS WILL BE FIXED SOON. There are many bugs at the moment, but I don't know what I'm doing and am completely relying on the help of AI.
This entire post was written by Claude 3 Opus, but reviewed by me. Please read the description on the games website before you begin. Also, this has only been tested on a Pixel 7a, and should play in landscape mode. Please tell me if that doesn't work.

I'm blown away that I never had to type a single line of code myself. Also, if you are playing on desktop, please make the browser window as small as possible.
