A lava platform jumper — the maker's first vibe-coded game, playable free in the browser
Lava Bound is a pixel-art lava platform jumper you can play free in your browser on Exekite — and it exists because its maker umut-neo decided to vibe-code his first game. The Show HN post from September 17 says it in the title: "Show HN: My first vibe coded game planning to publish to Android."
Tap Play and a 48MB game loads: volcanic caverns, a bat gliding over the magma, the whole retro platformer mood. No build tools, no engine ceremony visible to the player — just a game that runs.
The interesting arc is in the post title itself: first game, then an Android publish. Vibe coding didn't just produce a prototype; it produced someone's path into being a game developer.
