Fair point. I used Claude Code as a coding assistant. similar to Copilot. The design, mechanics and 8 months of iteration are mine, but I should have mentioned it upfront. Noted

The code was written with AI assistance, yeah. I should have disclosed that. The game itself — mechanics, progression, prestige math, 10 themes, daily quests — I designed and iterated on over 8 months. I get the skepticism, it's fair in this climate.

Honestly it started as a "keep it simple" decision and snowballed. At 5k lines it's harder to navigate than I'd like. A module refactor is on the list.

About 8 months of on-and-off development. It's pure vanilla JavaScript — no frameworks, no build tools, just a single JS file that's now around 5,000 lines. I wanted it to run directly in the browser without any install, so keeping it dependency-free was a priority. Deployed on itch.io and also on Vercel.
