Similar, last week I had AI imagine Asteroids, but as a first person shooter, play RoidBelt in the browser at: https://linsomniac.github.io/roidbelt/

Feels very similar to Stellar 7. Except the tanks divide when hit.

Omg it's a Asteroids Vampire Survivors, that's such a good idea! Love seeing android apps distributed independently too. Excited to play!

I love that folks are releasing things that are privacy-first, no ads, like a gift to humanity. Thank you for this.

The game itself looks fun!
The copy is awful. Which I suppose is expected at this point. It reads like the same Claude-ified marketing site slop we get in every third HN post. Why couldn't the author(s) spend the five minutes it would take to give this just a hint of personality? Do they think it's good enough?

Good enough for what? Certainly good enough to direct people to the correct links for their platform.
And, to me at least, to signal ahead of time that it’s a Claude-flavored game. Personally I’m not much for those (I don’t really snack on games) but I know people who enjoy burning through them. And “Claude-game” does feel like a steadily-more-coherent genre, with its own aesthetic language and high- and low-quality examples.
But of course it all comes back to the same old open-source questions. Is it marketing if you’re not selling anything? Does somebody have to be good at—or care about—writing or marketing in order to share their GPL game with the public for free?
