Lovely stuff. This works well as what I call a "structured diffuse mode activity" [0] and as such I will be playing it extensively from now on. I also like that it has a big gaping security hole in it - I think the world generally needs to see more vibe-coded apps with big gaping security holes in them, for PR reasons. (This is not a jab at OP btw! There is no reason to worry about security when you're building somet…

Completely agree with you. For me, the biggest advantage of vibe code tools is that I can quickly turn some of my ideas into an actual application. Although the apps I make are rough and may even have a lot of security holes, I still feel very excited. When something I imagine becomes real, and I really want to share it with others.

Too easy, 58s first go, playing with my fat fingers on a phone.

Was interested when I saw it, reminded me of a bullet-hell training game I had on windows about 25years ago. Keyboard control, bullets aimed at you, many games lasted less than 2 seconds if you had a bad start :)

Edit: just realised how negative my post was. I did actually enjoy it, honest! I will be playing more :) thanks for sharing
