A Laravel-themed tower defense game in your browser: fight PHP bugs with Artisan, Forge and Livewire towers.
Artisan Defense is a tower defense game that plays out on your production server: PHP errors — typos, deadlocks, technical debt — march down the request path toward your uptime, and you hold the line with 16 towers drawn from the Laravel ecosystem (Artisan, Forge, Livewire, Horizon, Octane, Pest, Filament and more), each upgradeable three ways. Free to play in the browser; unofficial fan game, not affiliated with Laravel.
The build story is a vibe-coding showcase in itself: creator Helge Sverre's October 10, 2026 writeup describes two top-level Claude Code sessions spinning up 27 subagents, 203 commits, and roughly 47 hours from the first prompt to v0.6.1 — concept boards, spec, engine, UI, artwork prompts, lyrics, the trailer pipeline and release notes all Claude-built under his direction. Main build on Claude Opus 5.5, trailer footage captured with Claude Fable 5.1, hosted on Vercel (v0.6.3 live as of October 9).
