The robots came for our jobs. Now they’re coming for the rest of us.

⚠️ FULL DISCLOSURE ⚠️

This game was one-shotted* by Opus 5.5.

  • 🧠 Human effort: one (1) haphazardly written prompt
  • ⚖️ Game balance: a human played it for less than one (1) minute. SHIP IT!
  • 🐛 Bugs: almost certainly
  • 🤖 Irony of an AI building a game about smashing AI: noted, ignored

Choose your human

How to play (the AI insisted on a tutorial)
  • Move with WASD, arrow keys, or drag anywhere on touch screens. Pause with Esc or P. Toggle music with M and sound effects with N.
  • Your weapons fire on their own. You just have to not die. You will die.
  • You start at 100% mental health. Robots drain it. Hit 0% and it’s over.
  • Your age is time spent plus stress accumulated. Protect your mental health and you stay young(ish) for longer.
  • Grab the colored circles for XP. Leveling up randomly adds or improves a weapon. No choices. The algorithm knows best.
  • 🥩 restores mental health, 🍀 improves critical hit luck, 👟 makes you faster, ⏰ stops time, 🧲 vacuums up XP.
  • The game lasts 20 minutes. Survive that long and you win! Then you die of old age, no matter what. Just like real life, but faster.
  • When you die, your 🪦 headstone stays on the map (in this browser) so you can visit your past failures.
