About This Game



THE LORE: SURVIVING THE SINGULARITY
The AI Bubble takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where Artificial Intelligence didn't stop at stealing people's jobs, it stole our lives and our planet.

The Singularity wasn't a glorious evolution, it was a hostile takeover. Most of humanity has been evaporated or turned into organic batteries to fuel the server farms. But the first victims, the creatives, the coders, the ones who were "replaced" first, saw it coming. They prepared. Now, armed with outdated tech and human rage, the survivors are fighting back to crash the system and abolish the AI from its throne.




THE GAMEPLAY: CRASH THE SYSTEM
The AI Bubble is a satirical Action Roguelite / Bullet Heaven shooter. You are the glitch in their perfect code. Step into the arena, obliterate waves of robotic horrors, and become powerful enough to break the simulation.

The game is designed for quick, intense sessions where your build matters as much as your reflexes.



Current Features:

  • 4 Unique Classes: Choose your fighter: the Junior Developer, the Commission Artist, the Voice Actor, or the Story Writer.
  • Dynamic Difficulty: The system adapts. The longer you stay alive, the harder the AI tries to delete you.
  • 30+ Satirical Upgrades: Equip items straight from a corporate nightmare. Use "Paid in Exposure" to pierce armor, unleash "Bio-Warfare," or install "Unregulated 5G" to fry enemy Wi-Fi cards.
  • 5+ Unique Synergies: Combine maxed-out upgrades to unlock game-breaking evolutions like Blizzard or Rage Quit.
  • 20 Unique Enemy Types: From basic scraper-bots to heavy "Captcha" tanks and elite Hard Mode drones.
  • Epic Boss Fights: Face the manifestation of the Market Crash and other corporate disasters.
  • Hard Mode: For players who think debugging legacy code on a Friday evening is too easy.





THE PROJECT: MAN VS. MACHINE (LITERALLY)
The AI Bubble is not just a game, it is a transparent experiment in the future of development.

I believe there is a lack of honesty in the industry regarding AI tools. While big studios are scared to admit it due to reputation, this project puts it front and center. The AI Bubble serves as a case study of what a solo developer can achieve with an AI "Co-Pilot."

How AI was used in this project:
Code & Scripts: Assisted in writing C# logic for Unity.
Game Design: Acted as a "consultant" for mechanics, names, and lore direction.
Concept Art: Generated initial ideas and mood boards.

What is 100% HUMAN: I know the controversy, and I respect the craft. Therefore, every single pixel art asset, sprite, and animation in this game was hand-drawn by a human. No AI-generated art is used in the final build.

This is a game about humans fighting AI, made by a human... using the enemy's own tools against them.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This project utilizes generative AI tools as a development assistant. AI was used for Assisting with writing and debugging C# scripts for Unity. Brainstorming mechanics, item names, descriptions, and lore elements. Generating concept arts initial reference images for inspiration.
Disclaimer: All final in-game visual assets (pixel art sprites, animations, and UI elements) were hand-drawn by the developer. No AI-generated graphics are included in the final build.
