Fellow Lemmite cat lovers, I'm vibecoding a bunch of games about cats. All free to play, no trackers, no money, all just for fun. Enjoy!

Why not spend the same time making one game that is good rather than 10 shitty ones?
- Because I'm just trying some stuff out?
  Sorry for trying to learn i guess.
  
  You said you wanted feedback 🤷
The games are very inconsistent and sometimes not even enjoyable. Apparently you vibe coded all these apps? The cover art pictures gives away the use of GenAI.
Imo, focus on 4-6 games in different genres and actually make them a game instead of a soulless interactive element. Quality over quantity.
- Yeah, 100% vibe coded. I have zero coding experience, it's mostly just a learning experience for me.
  Which ones aren't enjoyable to you? Just curious.
  
  I get it and I commend you for that. The thing is, that consistency, feel and flow is what makes a game look and feel good.
  Here's some specifics:
  Cat's Eye Chaos: camera goes way too fast, can't really track the ball at times. Also, because the ball can go up so high, you don't know whether you're picking up power ups correctly which can lead to frustration. I also didn't know that the yellow bars were flippers, but I could have gleaned that from the instructions.
  Cardboard Castle Builder: the goal is confusing and it doesn't seem very clear on how to "win", but I do love the idea, together with the cat checking it out before getting a score.
  Oracle Cats: this seems to be just 8ball questions and answers? I can't really call this a game, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
  Considering you're doing this as a learning experience, I don't want to be too harsh though. I just wanted to point out that while technically it's a game, it lacks that feeling of elements working nearly together to make a fun experience.
  I don't think you're going to get more out of GenAI though, so I can't really give you any feedback other than try to do it without AI. But that's probably not very fair, I can't even program myself so that sounds hypocritical
  Edit: hypocritical
  
  Actually, what do you learned after all this? I never heard of vibe code until yesterday, i wonder what the experience of using one is about.
- Yeeeah this is almost certainly vibe coded
  
  It is. Sorry I didn't say that up front, I just figured it was that painfully obvious.
