speaking in a boring party-killer voice:
That's technically impressive, sure, and if the kid loved it I feel happy for him, but...
I personally got bored after a minute of playing that, because that felt like a classic game with a slick skin over it. And games that really capture attention usually feel novel, not "Super Mario but make it about Dario".
Currently "oh wow I'm in the game" has the novelty value, but I feel that in two years things that would feel like telling Nano Banana "make me look like a princess". Everyone can do that and no one quite cares anymore.
But the bright side is, with that capabilities level, people who have novel and unusual game ideas can probably implement them much quicker and easier, too.
