EARSHOT

A top-down sonar-hunt roguelite played on a phosphor scope where sound is the only light: pinging reveals the cave and its creatures, but every sound you make tells them where you are.

About this project

As I continued to create Claude Code prototypes, I started to realize that Claude Code could create one-shot applications faster than I could come up with ideas. This was one of the "Chef's Choice" projects, where I gave Claude Code loose requirements (like making a static webpage) and otherwise gave it the creative freedom to make whatever it wanted.

This was an interesting project idea. It feels a bit like a game-jam game. It works and is an interesting creative project.
