    It's interesting, I vibecoded a very similar lofi/mood idle game, but in 2.5D with Codex, I would say that the reception was about 60% positive with a lot of people complaining about AI slop, then I removed the Codex fingerprints like the verbose titles "Neon Rain by Tokyo Tower", the button/field UI that looks like a ChatGPT wrapper startup from a year ago, changed font from the generated one, and then it had about 80% positive interaction.

    I think its easier to sell it as actual art/non-slop when you take some time to remove what is generic across newer LLM sessions.

      That’s useful feedback. I’ll take another look at the typography and controls. I want them to fit the scenes better.
