About KÖTTBULLAR METAL
A comic death-metal game in the browser built on one joke: flat-pack furniture product names make perfect metal lyrics. The title screen's single Start button drops you into the mosh pit in front of the band, where you play the singer's parts on the keyboard while moving a mosher, and then into a 15-minute bullet-heaven survival run that turns endless afterwards. Older modes in the code, including a five-song story campaign and two-player brawls on one keyboard, are hidden behind a developer switch. The official submission asks whether you can survive 15 minutes of mosh-pit madness or will become Köttbullar, and names a furniture catalogue as the inspiration. It was made for the Cursor Vibe Jam 2026, whose rules required at least 90% of each game's code to be written by AI; the entrant, Michal Pastier, lists Claude Code as the tool and vanilla JavaScript on HTML5 Canvas as the engine. It won the “Funniest Game” special award. Free, best with headphones; the page also has a touch layout for phones.

“Weird IKEA product names make perfect death metal lyrics.”Verification notes: Tool (Claude Code), engine, genre, pitch, inspiration and the multiplayer and mobile flags from the entrant's answers in the official Vibe Jam 2026 games data (submitted 1 May 2026, the deadline day; final rank 22 of 945 entries); rule 3 on the jam page requires at least 90% AI-written code. Award from the official data and the organizer's winners post of 17 Jun 2026. Developer name and location from the X profile @MichalPastier (display name Michal Pastier, location Slovakia, bio “Creative Director of Darwin & the Machines and GoBigname”), the handle the official data and the winners post give; the profile's website, gobigname.com, is a branding studio that lists Michal Pastier as co-founder and creative director but does not mention the game, and the game has no credits naming the developer (its title card says “NOTIKEA presents”, part of the joke). Team size is not stated. The submission answers Yes to multiplayer; the only multiplayer modes found are two players on one keyboard, hidden behind a developer switch (?dev=1), and no online networking was found in the game's code, so it is not tagged as online multiplayer. No calls to AI services were found. The jam page's widget counter showed 677 plays for kottbullar-metal.vercel.app on 3 Nov 2026 (observed; plays are sessions, not players or downloads, so not recorded as a metric). The release date is not stated.
