Developer @0xpaieth used Claude Opus 5.5 to build 'Compound Interest QUEST,' a retro pixel game that turns family investing lessons into levels: impulse spending is a trap to jump over, inflation is a monster that chases you, and patience levels up. With 8-bit music, saving and compounding concepts get concrete characters and stages. The creator also used the model to make a 40-second promo video. Eric Buess amplified it alongside Jiggle Buddies, another Opus 5.5 coding project.
