Outpace

Outpace is a Claude-themed typing runner: type to keep Claude running ahead of an adaptive pixel wave, press space to jump (double and triple jumps in the air), and deal with creatures that each have their own trick — stomp the Beetle, don't jump at the Moth, time the bouncing Hopper. The wave measures your typing speed and keeps pace, pushing harder as you improve. Golden words push the wave back, heart words heal, and 25 mistake-free letters raise your multiplier to x8. Sprint modes offer pure 15/30/60-second speed tests, and scores land on a global leaderboard with no accounts.

The remarkable part is the build story: the entire thing — game design, engine, pixel art, backend, tests, a security pass and deployment — was built by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code in a single ~45-minute session from one prompt, with two Sonnet 5.5 subagents handling the backend and adversarial QA. Zero npm dependencies, 47 tests, MIT licensed, and free to play in the browser right now.
