My X feed filled up with people shipping little games with the new Astra model.
When I finally got access, I started one of my own.
I made three concept images in ChatGPT first. Neon arena. Industrial pit. The kind of Smash TV energy I grew up on. Then I handed those to an agent and let it build.
What came back was playable faster than I expected. Twin-stick arena shooter. Short runs. Waves. A boss. Browser, mobile and desktop.
The first prototype took about 30 minutes and everything after has been fine tuning the gameplay and polish.
The first iterations were too easy, so I cranked up the difficulty which helped a lot.
Bolt Pit is public now if you want to try a run:
I'm working on porting it to Unity now also as I want to take advantage of the unity engine.

Going from three ChatGPT concept images straight to a playable twin-stick shooter in 30 minutes is wild. Smart move cranking the difficulty too, most first prototypes stay too forgiving because nobody wants to make their own game hard to play.
