Prime Time Idle

69❤ 3.8⭐ | by sir_pinski This short (<60 minutes) game is based on an art project I had been planning for a while, and then realized that perhaps an idle game was the way to go instead. It's also an experiment in vibe coding - it's about 98% AI-written code, albeit with me spending a few dozen hours writing the prompts and debugging, and I think turned out pretty well. The game itself is a short-form incremental game that combines math and music to generate a song of epic proportions. Or at least of epic length. You'll see. Currently in a beta build, please share feedback, bugs, etc. Thanks!
