Dev recreates childhood classic Crazy Arcade with Astra, playable free in browser
jerryjhlee · reddit · 2026-09-11
A developer used Astra in Codex to recreate Crazy Arcade, the beloved water-balloon battle game, as a free unofficial fan version hosted on ChatGPT Sites. The build was fully conversational: a first prompt for the base game with upgrades, tanks and characters, followed by iterative fixes like item visibility, hosting lag, and rarity tuning. It supports bot matches and friend rooms, mixes original assets with replacements, and the author is openly collecting bug reports from players.
