It’s actually very addicting
once you play a couple of sessions. The scoreboard is crazy. Still don’t know how anyone makes it past wave (layer) 35-37.
They can't sue everyone, comrade. AI tools will hopefully trigger a rewrite of what copyright means, it's always been silly that it prevents derivitive works.
I have to pick a new upgrade every 3 seconds. I thought they did that to stave off boredom, but actually it increases decision fatigue. (I just wanna shoot!)
In snowball games like this, losing a unit marks the beginning of the end. As such, you really have to go out of your way to lose units in the tutorial.
Assets are very easily duplicated because of the editor that ships with the game. Not as impressive as it would be if it were other games with more tightly-locked assets.
I'm noticing that armor pen is super important later on. However, eventually get rekt.. I'm curious how the top person got to the layer he is in now. I'm stuck at layer 26.
Fun, but... how is this not already taken down by copyright strikes? I mean straight rips of audio assets, music, 3d assets, graphics, even the damn name...
Reddit thread from about a month ago where creator introduced this: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1wqdabw/i_made_t...
Wow someone made the youtube ad game!
There's also pinball and an asteroids-like game if you click the "Arcade" button next to where it says "Ashfall Crossing"
A shame if they don't recreate the Lost Viking game from Wings of Liberty itself.
cool, give me more
Cool visuals, but doesn't count as a game for me. Can you do anything that make sense, except selecting the upgrade?
Could be a nice little game, though. Strip the IP and let the AI implement a bit more for the user to do.

I got around 42. Protos commander felt stronger for the effort.
It's like cookie clicker, with less clicking and more blood!
Once you get high enough you can switch commanders which gives additional upgrades and active powers.
I've been seeing a lot of Pokemon games recently as well, are companies just not enforcing their copyright/trademarks anymore?

> AI tools will hopefully trigger a rewrite of what copyright means,
Maybe it will, but this ain't a copyright issues, it's a trademark issue.

Couldn’t they just use AI to sue at scale? No one should be too small to go after now.

It's a totally original creation laundered through LLM derivative works.
they may well be busy surviving AI induced chain reactions letting lots of people out of work.
This is the second (probably vibecoded?) game in the last few days that I've seen using blizzard ip (the other being d2survivors.lol)
Game basically plays itself but fun nonetheless
For 10-15 levels or so, then your upgrade choices start to matter.
I only played through it once, but I'm convinced I'd do better on a second run, and a third, etc.
The satisfying pop of the zerglings alone make it fun for me.

Saw Starcraft, spent 30 minutes living the nostalgia playing this.
Game crashes when trying to fuse units
THE MERGING IS NOT COMPLETE
You must build additional pylons
Fun game.

I did not touch the controls at all, and I still won with zero losses on the first level - that does not inspire confidence.

controls aren't important, upgrade/tech choices are
Is this AI generated? Pretty impressive if that is the case
Definitely smells like ai. I don't think a human would spend so much time on the graphics and effects and not have streamlined the gameplay a bit.
The opposite would be correct. AI generated is the norm, and it would be impressive to spend xxx hours creating this when AI can do it in 4 hours
Assets are very easily duplicated because of the editor that ships with the game. Not as impressive as it would be if it were other games with more tightly-locked assets.
So what's the meta?
there is no meta but what we vibe

Great game. It took me way too long to figure out I could use keyboard to control the positioning instead of mouse.
It's nice to know Stimpack marines still roll face.
Ahhhh yeahhhh
That was pretty enjoyable. Definitely like the ads you see online but with IP people care about.
I was wondering why there was a dragon there, is it from Wrath of the Lich King?
Big game hunters Terran vs 7PC zergs. Same feeling.
Lots of fun! Wish StarCraft would come out every year
Too busy making the new StarCraft.
Ah, the music is so nostalgic. Really takes me back.
Cool game, but isn't this going to make blizzard bring out the big guns?
Great work on this, had a blast!
I did not make this, for the record. I just found it.
Perfect, who needed to be productive anyways
Fun, but... how is this not already taken down by copyright strikes? I mean straight rips of audio assets, music, 3d assets, graphics, even the damn name...
A mix of everything. Stolen from everywhere. We have AI, but people are still the bottleneck. They lack creativity and ideas :D. lol
Wake up, Hank. That game ain’t gonna play itself. Oh wait it does.
Holy moly, just hearing those sound effects gives me a giant wave of nostalgia.
This was really fun!

The AI games mashups are starting to heat up.
Really cool game. Spent about 30 minutes playing it. Very fun!
nice game
slop
so nice!
This is, respectfully, slop piggybacking on nostalgic associations with stolen assets.
