Corewake

We learned that browser games are a useful stress test for AI-assisted product work because the loop has to be understandable immediately. Corewake will be easier to judge once the itch page is public, but the direction points toward a focused game prototype rather than a generic demo.

This project was built as part of our May 2026 challenge: ship one small, judged AI-assisted product every day and be honest about where the tools help, where they get in the way, and where human taste still does the heavy lifting.

The score below reflects how strong the AI-assisted result is: not just whether it shipped, but whether it escaped generic slop and became something with a point.

Our rating

8.6/10

One of the stronger AI-assisted results in the series. The output feels specific, useful, and shaped by human judgment instead of generic generation.
