About Last Ember
A top-down pixel-art survival game in the browser, made for AI Browser Game Jam 5 (theme: Torch). You carry a dying torch into a cave full of shadows: the flame is your light, your shield and your clock. You gather resin to keep it burning, mine minerals that change its powers, and time swings of the torch to parry the creatures in the dark. Sodium gives a wider light and easier parries but draws more shades; copper burns green and points toward the Beacon; strontium dims the light so fewer shades come, with a red fire pointing to nearby resin. Lighting the Beacon deep in the cavern turns the run into an escape: the cave starts to collapse and an ember wisp shows the way back to the entrance, with a dodge roll for the escape. There are four cave depths, and a seed can be entered to replay the same cave or challenge a friend; best scores are saved in the browser. The game is by a two-person team on itch.io, Kittingsl and saile2204. The page says it was made with extensive AI assistance across code, design, art, animation and audio, and credits saile2204's Claude Code and opencode agents with the majority of the code; Kittingsl used OpenAI's Codex, Blender MCP for 3D models rendered into pixel sprites, ElevenLabs for some sound effects and ACE-Step for music. Free in a desktop browser with keyboard and mouse.
How it was built
Partially verifiedThe itch.io page's AI tools section credits team member saile2204 with “Claude Code and opencode with Claude models, using orchestrator, builder, and reviewer agents for the majority of the code.” opencode is a separate open-source coding agent, used here with Claude models. The page's general line says the game was made “with extensive AI assistance across code, design, art, animation, and audio, with human direction, selection, editing, and refinement.”

The page credits team member Kittingsl with “OpenAI Codex with GPT 6.1 Sol on Medium”, without saying which parts it made; the same credit lists Blender MCP for 3D asset and animation work rendered into pixel sprites, ElevenLabs for some sound effects and ACE-Step 1.5 through ComfyUI for music.

Made by a two-person team for AI Browser Game Jam 5 (17 to 31 Oct 2026, theme Torch). saile2204 ran Claude Code and opencode with Claude models as orchestrator, builder and reviewer agents, which wrote the majority of the code; Kittingsl worked with OpenAI's Codex, built 3D assets and animations through Blender MCP and rendered them into pixel sprites, and made some sound effects with ElevenLabs and music with ACE-Step 1.5 in ComfyUI. The page describes the human role as direction, selection, editing and refinement. The web build is a single JavaScript bundle (built with Vite).

“Claude Code and opencode with Claude models, using orchestrator, builder, and reviewer agents for the majority of the code.”Verification notes: AI use from the “AI Tools & Process” section of the itch.io page and the AI Tools Used answer on the official AI Browser Game Jam 5 submission page, both re-read on 7 Nov 2026. The per-member credit says the Claude Code and opencode agents wrote “the majority of the code”, so no AI code share is recorded; the page's general line calls it “extensive AI assistance”. Which parts Codex made is not stated. The itch.io AI disclosure field lists AI Assisted, Code, Graphics, Sounds and Text. Team size 2 from the page's two authors (Kittingsl, saile2204), who are listed under itch handles only; the per-member credits are written as separate roles. Published 30 Oct 2026, 17:46 UTC per the itch.io page; the submission page says it was entered 9 hours and 12 minutes before the 31 Oct 2026, 03:00 UTC deadline. The game's web build (a single Vite bundle) was checked on 7 Nov 2026 and contacts no network services and no AI services; the sprites, sound effects and music were made with AI tools before release, not during play. Jam voting runs until 16 Nov 2026, so no placement is recorded; itch.io shows no public rating. Two jam commenters said they could not interact with the environment. The game was not played.
