A user beat OpenAI engineer Thibault Sottiaux's pixel platformer game on hard mode using Codex, clocking a 33.6s run with 2 deaths. But there are no actual prizes: finishing the game shows a "RESET PRESSED" screen that just redirects you to ChatGPT after 3 seconds — a fun AI-built game that ultimately funnels players to OpenAI's product.
