The link leads to some kind of sound game for me?

I was able to get to it by just changing the url to this: https://www.myvibe.so/nategu/bullet-garden

A link to the proper game: https://www.myvibe.so/nategu/bullet-garden

Looks like the author has a similarly-named sound-garden which is linked to at the top level.

`myvibe.so` domain. So this is where we're at.

Wasn't Vampire Survivors originally a browser based game too wrapped in Electron?

Yes, written in Phaser.js

The engine was rewritten for performance (in C++?), but the designer is fluent enough in Phaser/JavaScript that they continue using the original engine for testing new features.

Yes — the early prototype of Vampire Survivors was built in the browser (Phaser).

My project is similar in spirit, but with a much tighter constraint: a single self-contained HTML file, no engine, no assets.

Tried the game and it was pretty good! The polygonal look fits really well, reminds me of games by Introversion.

A couple of suggestions:

* Add gamepad support, there's a browser API for that. * Things are way too tiny compared to VS running on same screen. It was often hard to precisely maneuver and distinguish between entities.

On a side note, I'd definitely play a mix of fl0w/Spore with VS.

I have seen Gemini one shotting Vampire survivor clone on Twitter few months ago. This is clearly made with an LLM, why is this on front page?

Nate0075• 5 months ago

I did use an LLM as a coding assistant, but this wasn’t one-shot generated.

Sorry — I pasted the wrong link in the post. The correct link is: https://www.myvibe.so/nategu/bullet-garden
