About Emberfall
Emberfall is a pixel action game in which the player is made of fire, in a city where it never stops raining. Fire is the ammunition: the player drains anything that is burning, throws it back at the HydraLink troopers trying to wash them out, and brings down the weather towers that keep the rain falling, up to a final boss, the Leviathan. The developer, posting on YouTube as CyberRider Gaming, writes: “I didn't write this code by hand. I built Emberfall with Claude Code in about three days”, then played it, listed everything that felt wrong and fixed it. The devlog published on 25 October 2026 has a chapter on making the game a demo, but no demo is linked; the description asks viewers whether they want to play it.
How it was built

The channel (about 20 subscribers) is pseudonymous and posts other first-person Claude Code devlogs about the developer's own games. No demo or store page is linked, and no build was found on itch.io (searched 8 Nov 2026). Other, unrelated games are also called Emberfall. Engine, development team and location are not stated.
