A solo builder used Claude to ship an ice cream arcade game
The author built a free-to-play browser game called Softy Grab, where players serve ice cream orders before the freshness bar runs out. The gameplay gets faster as levels increase and customers become more demanding.
They say Claude helped build the game from scratch, including:
- order generation
- freshness timing logic
- scoring
- level progression
- matching scoops to customer orders
The hardest part was balancing the difficulty so it felt stressful but fair. The post includes a playable link and says the author’s best score is 20,543.
