AIandDesign showcases Canyon Overdrive, a complete synthwave-flavored WebGL flight shooter reportedly built in a single day with AI while juggling other work.
Gameplay: steer through procedurally seeded canyons with mouse/WASD, SHIFT afterburner dodges, click/space to fire twin ion cannons, and Z for twin missiles (3 per volley). It includes sectors, bosses, a practice "Flight Academy," per-seed runs, and high-score tracking (requires WebGL 2).
The author's point: by September 2026, one person can ship a polished, playable game like this as a side project — a demo of how much AI coding speeds up solo game creation.
