That one predates vibe coding by quite a few years though: a lot of hard work went into Goat Simulator, and there were no doubt other more obvious choices for how the developers spent their time, but they still chose to make Goat Simulator.

Also it's a geninue game with goals to complete, mainly cribbing from games like the Tony Hawk's series.

Two separate categories: Meme games[*] don't have to be vibecoded, not all vibecoded things become meme games.

[*] A "meme game" being a game which is tries to be ridiculous and is predominantly popular because of social media exposure. I would include games like Goat Simulator, Horse Magnifier, Squirrel with a Gun, QWOP, Untitled Goose Game, Trollface Quest...
