Re:DOOMscrolling: The Game on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @10:41PM (#45207105)
theres about 15-20 games

I put it together quite quickly for @levelsio vibe coded games competition

https://x.com/levelsio/status/1915127796097290534

originally it had levels and bosses but The code got too messy. I'm thinking about coming back to it and adding some more games.

I don't use instagram or any social media actively so didn't know about double tap!

will add it to the todo list.

Great music. Did you make it?
Thanks. I find coolify very useful.
I've made a lot of apps with claude.e.g I made a pretty complex swiftui app recently even though I don't know swift. Usually you have to help Claude debug them and sometimes point it in the right direction.
