About
You are a vibe coder. You have a dream, a desk made of a door on two milk crates, and an AI called Maude who bills by the token and roasts you for free. Welcome to Vibe Coder Tycoon — the tycoon game about shipping an app to the App Store, from inside an app on the App Store. Yes, we see the irony. No, we won't stop. BUILD THE THING Pour tokens into your build and watch Maude cook. More tokens, better app — but Maude runs on Claude-style limits: a 5-hour window and a weekly cap. Budget like your rent depends on it. (It does. It's due on the 28th.) SHIP THE THING Pick a category. Set an App Store price — or go free with ads and let volume do the talking. Your app launches overnight, because Maude doesn't sleep. Then the reviews start. SURVIVE THE THING Every day brings downloads, revenue, bug reports, and one-star reviews from users named certified_h8r. Fix the bugs or ignore them — your rating remembers either way. Raise your price and the internet will absolutely let you know how it feels. PROMOTE THE THING (RESPONSIBLY. OR NOT.) Spam subreddits for free. Buy a Times Square billboard for an hour. Send memes into the void through MAUDE LABS and pray for containment breach. Every channel rolls flop, mid, or viral — and Maude has a line ready for each. MAKE IT VIBE Deck out your room from VIBEKEA: ten desks, five Macs, twenty-four desk treasures including the VUNKO™ figurine line, five clock faces, five windows, and a wall of paint called things like GOTH GIRLFRIEND and DELULU PINK. Watch the seasons change outside your window while your server bill grows with every install. WIN (OR DON'T) Earn back every dollar you've spent, then hold four profitable weeks in a row to reach SUSTAINED VIBE. Or run out of runway and get Maude's eulogy: "Broke. Not 'broke into the industry' broke. The regular kind. The sad kind." FEATURES • A fully simulated indie dev economy: tokens, buzz, bugs, backlash, billing • Maude — a savage, dry AI cofounder with zero chill and infinite one-liners • Real App Store pricing tiers, ad-supported or paid business models • Seasonal living room: weather, day/night, a tree with opinions • VIBEKEA: flat-pack furniture with flat-out disrespect • Live pixel code on your tiny Mac's tiny screen • Win conditions, lose conditions, and a duck on a shelf • Premium game. No ads. No in-app purchases. No, really. Vibe Coder Tycoon is a one-time purchase. We considered selling you tokens for real money, and then the game's entire premise stared back at us.
