Issue #3
This week we've got a puzzle game that racked up over 1,200 HN points, a game that uses LLMs to judge your social skills, a word game built by friends, and a platformer coded entirely by AI. Plus, we're bringing back a football classic from the archives.
If you enjoy what you find here, the best way to support these indie devs is simple. Forward this email, share a game, or tell someone about HN Arcade. These creators usually don't have marketing budgets, so every share counts.
