You pick one of two deployments, a checkpoint in a narrow street or an evacuation point on an open sports ground, and hold it against wave after wave of the dead. Kill streaks earn a UAV, and the rifle carries a light for the dark corners. The game's start screen says that the street, the rifle, the dead, the drone, the sounds and the music are all made in code as the page loads. It's an endless survival mode that keeps a best score, with no story or campaign.
How the creator made it
Aravind Srinivas says they had a Teammate run on Claude Fable 5.2 “for a few hours”, and it built the game. Asked how it checked that the game was playable, they answered “Chrome on a rented cloud GPU”. They put the cost at about 100,000 Perplexity credits.
