For the #holidaychallenge2025 in replit I oneshot protovibed 😎 the interactive mockup of a snowglobe spot the differences game. https://spot-differences-game--paulnewton.replit.app
Amazing how far it got me in a limited time.
In trying to go to market with something like this you'd have a real starting point for creating the experiences instead of doing EVERYTHING from nothing.
To limit tokens I pre-prompted a game-spec & ideated the diff-images & mockups before feeding it into replit for the oneshot.
Then I just had to update the images and a config then start testing!
Fast prototypes let you see what is missed faster: highlighting clickzones, feedback when a difference is clicked, 'shake the snowglobe' as a drag and drop effect and a button being for accessibility etc.
This is a strong example of how fast prototyping can unlock real insight early. Pre-defining the game spec and constraints clearly paid off — you got to meaningful UX feedback instead of getting stuck building from scratch.
Which missing interaction or accessibility tweak stood...

This is a shameless re-submission, as I already submitted this whack-a-mole mini game for the Rive data binding challenge. But since this one is specifically about games I thought: 'what the heck, why not?'

No scripting in this one (yet).
Hopefully I can build something new for the next challenge :-]
Thanks for playing!

Games with Rive Challenge
Space Luno is a fast-paced arcade survival game built entirely in Rive for the Games with Rive Challenge.
All visuals, animations, UI, interactions, and gameplay logic were created using Rive State Machines, Rive Scripts, Data Bindings, and ViewModels only, with no external engines or frameworks.
Players control Luno in an endless space run where speed increases score and risk. Fuel drains constantly, you have three lives, and power-ups like shield, weapon upgrades, boost, and fuel help you survive. While boosting, the player is invincible.
Luno, the character in the HUD, reacts in real time to player actions and game events. This was my first experience with Rive Scripts, challenging at first, then smooth to iterate and maintain.
Who will beat my high score?
