FAQ

Is Vibe1Up an itch.io alternative?

For players who want AI-made browser games, it's a smaller, focused place to browse. For creators it isn't a replacement: we don't host files or handle sales, so most creators publish on itch.io or their own site and are listed here too.

Does itch.io allow AI-made games?

Yes. Creators can disclose generative AI use on their project page, which adds the AI Generated tag; it's required for assets and encouraged for games.

Can I list my itch.io game on Vibe1Up?

Yes, if it plays in the browser and you publicly say it was made with AI. Send the link through the submit page. Listing is free.

Which should I use?

Use itch.io to publish, host or sell a game, join a jam and reach its community. Use Vibe1Up to find AI-made browser games quickly, see which work on phones, and grab a Starter recipe to remix your own.
