The author shares their experience of using the AI tool Gear Zero to create the game "Meow Tide". This tool can automatically generate game code, images, and sound effects from natural language descriptions.

Guys, you all know I've been working on tool applications and have rarely touched games. But these past couple days, I felt like making a game called "Meow Tide". The gameplay is roughly that hundreds of cats rush from all directions to rub against you, and when your stamina drops to zero, you're "overwhelmed by cats", with the screen filling up with cat faces. Lasting 3 minutes until dawn means you win. I played for half an hour, and the best I did was 2.5 minutes. -- Check the video to see. The tool I used this time to make the game is called Gear Zero, from the team Alaya Lab that previously released the world model. You can just describe what game you want in plain language, and the AI will generate the plan, write code, draw images, and add sound effects. Within a few minutes, you can play it directly in your browser. It's free, no need to bind a card, and you can log in with just a phone number. I deliberately didn't make a simple one-level game; I chose a complex one: the survivor genre, like the gameplay of Vampire Survivors, which one person made and sold millions of copies. I was just chatting the whole time, and I said a total of four rounds: 1. First round: Night alley, automatically throwing fish snacks, cats rushing in from all sides, the sky gradually brightening. The first version was ready in about 6 minutes. 2. Second round: Add upgrade choices (three options), add kittens, orange cats, and black cats that steal fish snacks. 3. Third round: Add a Boss "Big Orange", which doesn't leave even if fed, lying in the middle of the road blocking the way; add laser pointers, cat teaser sticks, and cardboard boxes. 4. Fourth round: Add floating heart text, screen shake, and after dawn, you can "survive another night". In each round, it first gives you a plan. You click to confirm before it starts working, and if you continue talking in between, it remembers and won't forget. The game is here, playable on both mobile and computer. See how many minutes you can last without being overwhelmed by cats: https://zero.alayalab.ai/play/share_7b8beaa9619b... It has 5 free builds per day, and publishing once gives you an extra 5, which is enough to play around all day for now. The game I made is quite addictive, so give it a try. @alayastd

Hey folks, you all know I’ve been building utility apps and haven’t really dabbled in games.

But these past two days, on a whim, I made a game called Meow Tide: the basic idea is hundreds of cats swarming you from all directions to rub against you—when your stamina drops to zero, you’re “overwhelmed by cats,” and the screen floods with cat faces.

Survive for 3 minutes until dawn to win. I played for half an hour, and my best run lasted 2 and a half minutes. –Check the video to see.

I used a tool called Gear Zero for this, made by the team behind that world model I shared earlier—Alaya Lab. You can describe what kind of game you want in plain language, and the AI handles the planning, coding, graphics, and sound effects on its own. Within minutes, it’s playable right in your browser.

Free to use, no credit card required—just log in with a phone number.

I deliberately didn’t go for a simple one-level thing and chose something complex: a survivor-style game, like Vampire Survivors—the one that sold millions of copies, all made by one person.

I just chatted with the AI the whole time. I had four rounds of conversation:

  1. First round: A dark alley at night, auto-throwing small fish snacks, cats swarming from all sides, and the sky gradually brightening. The first version came out in about 6 minutes.
  2. Second round: Added three-choice upgrades, plus kittens, orange tabbies, and a black cat that steals your fish snacks.
  3. Third round: Added a Boss “Big Orange”—feed it full and it won’t leave, lying in the middle of the path as an obstacle. Also added a laser pointer, a cat teaser wand, and a cardboard box.
  4. Fourth round: Added floating heart icons, screen shake, and the ability to “survive another night” after dawn.

Each round, it first presents you a plan—you click confirm to start, and anything you say mid-process gets remembered and doesn’t overwrite previous steps.

The game is here, playable on both mobile and desktop. See how long you can last before being swamped by cats: https://zero.alayalab.ai/play/share_7b8beaa9619b…

It gives you 5 free builds per day, plus 5 more for each time you publish—plenty for a whole day of tinkering. I find this game pretty addictive. Give it a try!
