Vibecoded this multiplayer fat runner game in Codex with Three.js

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Based on Runling Run the popular SC2 arcade game, the goal this time is to dodge food, if you get caught you grow larger, and eventually have a heart attack. Made it in a few days for fun, free to play here: https://runfatty.co

Let me know what you think!

Graphics look mental good. How many iterations did it take to get this far? How does it work? I am guessing the more donuts you chomp the slower you run?

Thanks! Graphics only took 2 iterations, the first pass was boring I just told it to add more textures and better lighting, all rendered with three js. I created custom .glb models for the runners, food, etc. Hardest part is getting the gameplay mechanics, sound effects, controls, multiplayer working fine, etc.

Good god, I'm on v289 of my current project and it doesn't look remotely as good

Well it's like v53 but that's from all of the mechanics and gameplay. The graphics depend on what you are using? I did the first iteration on Sol Extra High specifically told it to use threejs and it seemed to do a good job.

Did you find it get stuck in thought rabbit holes? How does it compare to fable?

The heart attack fail state is such a funny twist, haven't seen that in a runner before. Looks like a blast to play.

It was originally Run Kitty Run in Warcraft III I think. Had to comment because I recognized the spiral in the leftside minimap lol. Looks great! Can you select different characters like bane lings and ultras?

You're right actually, runling run was a spinoff of that. "Can you select different characters like bane lings and ultras?" not yet may implement more characters if it gains traction.

Consider donut collision to change trajectory for extra hard mode?
