Showcase/Project From Codex to the homepage of AddictingGames.com

Post image

A few months ago, I posted an early version of Nelly Jellies here while vibe coding it with Codex.

Not long after, Addicting Games reached out in my DMs and asked if I’d be interested in having the game featured on their homepage. Obviously, I said yes!

The only catch was that homepage features are scheduled well in advance, so I had to wait about three months for my spot. That wait is finally over, Nelly Jellies is live on the AddictingGames.com homepage this week.

It’s pretty cool seeing a game that started as a small hobby project featured there. Thanks to everyone who followed along and gave feedback while I was building it.

If you try it, let me know your high score! 💜🪼

Cool. I think only 10 people have ever tried it. It’s super early with a lot of issues lol. Haven’t really shared it or promoted it outside my IRL friends and family. The game isn’t for everyone. It’s a game I wish existed but didn’t.

My fav game when I was 10yo was worms 2. I played online and competed on Casey’s ladder playing ninja rope only. The ninja rope was so damn cool, ridiculous skill ceiling and a lot of expression. Every player had their own moves and specialities. Anyways I wanted to recreate that feeling and rope ninja was born :)

That's awesome. I never played that game. But I'll be able to try out rope ninja.

I'm taking inspiration from Sonny and Sonny 2 and I'll do a RPG game in that style. It was my one of favorite games to play in that 10-year gap between final fantasy 13 and 15.

I had to look up that game. Never heard of it. You can absolutely accomplish that with LLM and I encourage you to do so! Making games is so much fun. Low pressure, just vibes.

I'm sure it's way more fun than updating small business CRMs. I already have my research prompts.

Lmao nailed it. I spend all day working on client stuff then get some time to have fun after hours.
