The Vibe Shooter game - a 2D top-down shooting game inspired by Vampire Survivors and other favorites.

I wanted to try how far vibe coding can go, so I tried making a 2D top-down shooting game that has the feel from my favorite games: Vampire Survivors, Overwatch, League of Legends, MapleStory, and more.

The result is here - keyboard and mouse are required.

I used Cursor with a Pro subscription but ran out of credits in a few hours. I also tried gemini-cli, but the free tier account only had a very limited number of tokens available.
