What it does

You’re an AI gathering training data by surviving fun, frantic, and ridiculous microgames against the clock.

I turned everyday micro interactions into small games that you have to complete against time pressure

✋ Tap!

✍️ Draw!

➕ Solve! (2+2=)

🔡 Spell!

👈 Swipe Left!

⏭️ Skip Ad!

It’s chaotic, silly, and way more fun than it sounds.

Oh the soundtrack is deliberately annoying. 🎶🙉

🎮 UGC: Add your own Game

I built a prompt-to-game workflow so anyone can spin up their own microgame:

Have an idea? Copy/paste our instructions into Claude or ChatGPT.

Get a working microgame back in seconds.

Post your creation to the subreddit and join the chaos.

For people who don’t want to code, we also keep an open idea thread

just drop your concepts and someone else can bring them to life.

How we built it

This was built with react using the Devvit template.

Challenges we ran into

Some tricky bugs and race conditions. Time pressure (fitting as this is what the game is about). I couldn't get the splash screen to show

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Really great feedback so far

Inspiration

The warioware series is my all-time favourite game concept.

What we learned

LLMs are getting really good at one-shotting microgames given the right prompt / clicking skip ads or swiping left can be fun when you add time-pressure!

What's next?

Future roadmap

Leaderboards

Challenge sharing eg can you beat my score

Get the first 10 UGC games

Improved game making guide

Better splash screen and branding

Subreddit themed games and challenges. Working with subreddit to make them microgame challenges based on their content

Topical games

Fix some tricky bugs (e.g lives are sometimes miscounted)

Feedback for this project has been great so far.

The fact that it's buggy but people keep coming back to it and contacting me with improvements and suggestions is a great sign
