Final day of @levelsio 's #vibejam ! Thanks to Levels & team for organizing what was such a fun journey.
Thoughts & inspiration below, but here's a short part about my game first:
Crit The Beat, the Guitar Hero like rhythm game I built, is live with 9 tracks, 27 songs & 2 bosses! Couldn't complete the roguelike version of it because I had to focus on work and kids too much during the last week, but vibe coding it was a blast. I know it's kind of a niche genre, but there are some beginner friendly tracks. You can give it a try, check the teaser below!
Here are some thoughts:
I'm a 37yr old freelance creative director in advertising, specializing in AI, gaming, XR and innovative mediums overall with some of the coolest brands in the world.
I love my job and I'm amazed by what AI is bringing to the creative table. Some people are afraid of creativity being replaced, but what I see is creativity being multiplied by using AI as a tool.
I'm just blown away by what's feasible right now. The 17yr old me would have been doing this nonstop for months. Anyone curious can literally create their dream game or app. There's no point in history where someone could produce this amount of creative work in such a short time. I'm very curious where all of this is headed, but I'm convinced some of the best pieces of entertainment of all time will emerge from this.
I could/should have been more active on social, but this is ironically the hardest part for me. I've been lurking a lot though.
It was a pleasure seeing awesome projects being built from the ground up.
Can't wait to see which games @levelsio @s13k_ @timsoret & @NicolaManzini will pick but the competition is fierce.
Here's the final stack used for the game:
Dev - @cursor_ai with Claude 4.5/4.6, game in @threejs
2D - @magnific with Nano Banana 2 & Seedance 2
3D - @tripoai - for the 3D models, amazing tool
Music - @suno - helped create and sync songs with amazing BPM precision

Litteraly the best piece of AI content i've ever seen. This is phenomenal.
Sincitium is finally here.
We are pleased to present our latest piece: a concept trailer created specifically for the @runwayml Big Pitch Contest. For this project, we wanted to explore a completely different aesthetic from our usual studio style, and this film is the result of that experimentation.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the creative process.

Here's a list of people working on things I found extremely cool ๐
@DannyLimanseta 's Tiny Skies is just lovely, true indie game feel. Been following your progress since last year and everything is just wholesome.
@underpaid_mom 's Wen Ware just hit the perfect viral spot and is the best illustration of "if it's a good idea just build it and it'll work"
@leocooout Capybara game is so fun and polished in such a short time, crazy taxi x goat simulator vibe, love it.
@denisbondare HALADANE-4 is brilliant, the vibe for an horror ASCII is through the roof and I loved reading his takes on the project
@andreeliasdev Visual progress on his game has been stunning too, imagine the possibilities with more time.
@NicolasZu 's Zombie game looks awesome too, not a Vibejam submission but really shows us how far vibe coding a game can go, looking forward to the release
@dvassallo and his son created one of the most viral game of the jam: Full send, and it's super fun to play
And finally @chongdashu who has been an amazing source of tips and knowledge
Congratz to everyone, i'll definitely keep building after the Jam, I have so many ideas I want to push.

Day#8 to #11 of working on Crit The Beat, my submission for @levelsio 's #vibejam
Finally dropped a public build ๐ฅ
Looking for some players now !!
You can now jump into 27 tracks, 9 songs, 2 bosses, and live leaderboards, everything should be fully up and running on critthebeat.com.
Getting all the live features in was easily the most painful part, and X Connect is still refusing to cooperate, but Iโm really excited to finally get this in your hands.
Any feedback, comments, or shares would mean a lot and really help spread the word.

๐ง Spooky Theme Park Builder by @Sebalg_tech, lots of nice 3d assets and music here to enjoy
๐๏ธ Full Send by @dvassallo and his 11yo son ๐, a top-down F1 racing game with I think multiplayer opponents too!

BOSS FIGHT! With lyrics and a new mechanic : fog
Say hi to the Skeleton Queen ๐๐๐
Here's a video of me BARELY completing it in hard mode. It's really hard right now so I will probably tune it down a bit.
Now i'll focus on what I was to suppose to focus on initially.

Today's games I liked most from the #vibejam timeline:
๐ Grand Quack Auto by @ky__zo, back again, but now he has planes and he's flying to SF!
๐ป Devimon by @thejjnn, a monster that runs in your CLI terminal, very different way to deliver a game
๐ Drone Delivery by @MoneOunchPan, but while delivering you get attacked by anything and everything
๐ Psychdelic Drive by @DurkatWork, a psychedelic driving game with lots of trippy effects!!

Day #7 working on "Crit the Beat" for @levelsio 's #vibejam
Today was a big day, the game is almost ready for a small public alpha build. If you want to try it, feel free to interact & share, we need more eyes and players here!
Here's a video of me completing a run from the start screen, i'm getting pretty good at it. ๐
Done:
โขย Started switching monsters from 2D to 3D with @tripoai , look at the skeleton run
โขย Implemented lots of small tweaks to the game screen to make it feel cool and dynamic
โขย Added stats, achievements and a revamped ranking system
โข Finally nailed the perfect sync workflow from music generation on @suno to in game integration, so you press the buttons exactely on the beats. Feels good.
โขย Added a hard mode for each track
Coming next:
โขย Finalize the remaining tracks, monsters and environment assets
โขย Add the portal
โขย Optimize all the assets
โขย Prepare public alpha build

๐ง {mยตrkยฅฬณ} by @denisbondare
This one is just amazing, so original, all ASCII but 3d, radio narration, an sine based synth soundtrack running on your client, just a super special creation, and again it shows it's not about the visuals in the classic way you think off!
๐ Swingers by @_offmylawn
Already one of the most played games in the Vibe Jam (yes we can track it :D), and I think one of the most fun ones I've seen, you keep playing because the physics just work really well, you shoot grappling hooks around and swing from building to building, really superfun
๐ Vibe Inc by @cadostropia
I liked the look of this and the music too, like a very scenic Sim City but one that gets more dark and creepy at night
๐ช Giantfall by @duckocancode
Some kind of planet space sim where you're running or space boarding around, it looks really visually interesting

Day #6 working on "Crit the Beat" for for @levelsio 's #vibejam
The core gameplay is here and it's really fun, next will be creating some content and feedback gameloops so it's rewarding, I have hundreds of ideas so super excited about this.
Done yesterday:
โ
Fun little polish on the game's UI & Art Direction
โ
Created a bot to play the levels to finetune them, on the video's is the actual hardest level setting as of now
โ
Optimized the sync engine
โ
Worked on 3 different environements for the future levels: Graveyard, Clock & Voodoo Jungle
Coming next:
โ๏ธ Portal integration
โ๏ธ First live build for tests
โ๏ธ Thinking of multiplayer visual lobby
โ๏ธ Content, content, content
All done in @threejs with @cursor_ai @suno @freepik Photoshop and my note app

Today's games I liked most from the #vibejam timeline:
๐ซ Space Shooter (?) by @_MaxBlade
I keep seeing this one on my timeline so wanted to post it, a shooter that looks like it takes place on the moon, it looks weirdly non-janky and real for how early it is still
๐ Fowl Play by @habeebslm
It looks like you're a chicken on a farm and have to dodge tractors etc. Cute!!
๐ธ Null Range by @taylor_sntx
I posted this one before but it keeps getting better, very different visuals and cool
๐ณ Adventure Game (?) by @adriancerda
I wanted to post this one because it's different, akin to Monkey Island and SCRUMM, and pretty

Portal arrival cinematic concept for Crit the Beat. Seedance 2 is so good at this.
#vibejam
โจ The ๐ข Vibe Portal 2026 is now officially live!
It adds a green circular ring portal to every #vibejam game that players can walk, swim, jump, drive, sail or fly through and get teleported to any of the other 1000 games
It's like a mini meta verse for vibe coded games to teleport through
Last year it was a bit buggy because me and @s13k_ had to manually manage all the games added and games would start 404'ing quickly
This year it works differently and is fully automated: the Vibe Portal tracks which games send traffic to other games, and based on that sends traffic back to them, so automatically if a game doesn't send traffic, it knows either it doesn't have a portal or the portal is not working (like the last fish game in this video) or not shown properly in the game. And it tracks which games the user already visited so doesn't show them again and again, so you always end up in a new game (until you run out)
Instructions how to add it to your game on the new Vibejam website at also the new domain ๐ฎ vibej.am!
Adding it is optional to participate in the #vibejam but I recommend it because it will get you lots of traffic from other games!
You can try it here:
