FAQ
What is Vibe1Up?
Vibe1Up is a directory of free, playable browser games built with AI coding tools (vibe coding). It currently lists 625 live games: 506 from the Cursor Vibe Jam 2026 and 119 from itch.io, X and Reddit, each credited to its creator.
What is a vibe-coded game?
A game where the creator describes what they want to an AI coding assistant and iterates on the result. Vibe Jam entries had to be at least 90% AI-written code and playable in a browser with no login.
Where does the game data come from?
From the official public Vibe Jam API (https://vibejam.com/api?year=2026&up=1). Titles, links, creators, pitches, genres and engines are exactly as submitted.
Do you show the real prompts?
Only when a creator shares one. We don't have the official prompts for most games. Until a creator shares theirs, each game and remix page shows a clearly labeled Starter recipe: our own reconstruction, not the creator's official prompt.
What is Game DNA?
A colored gene bar for each game, built from its genre tags, engine, multiplayer and mobile support. Matching colors mean matching traits, and each game page lists its closest relatives.
What is the Daily Cartridge?
A featured game chosen by the date, never by hand. You can collect it to your local shelf in the browser.
How do I get my game listed?
Use the Submit page with your game link, X handle, the AI tool you used and, ideally, your prompt.
Can I sponsor Vibe1Up?
We don't sell ad slots yet. If you'd like to support the site, email hello@vibe1up.com. Any sponsorship would be clearly labelled and kept separate from staff picks.
