About 颅内坍缩指南 NewtonTaker
A short action game on TapTap in which you play a photon that has strayed into Newton's brain. You switch at speed between particle and wave states to collect and reset fragments while dodging lasers, spikes, red circles and bullet patterns, and run into absurd phantoms from Newton's mind: colleagues, friends, rivals and Newton himself at different times and in different states. Levels are short, you restart on death, and the difficulty can be changed at any time; the developer says it works on phones and PC but feels better on PC. In the creator note the developer says the idea began as a puzzle game about the wave theory of light and turned into an action game, calls it their first independently developed game, and credits 塔啦啦 and GPT as the main reasons it could be finished at the last minute. It is a university-session entry in TapTap's 聚光灯 2026 制造新星 programme, which TapTap describes as work made within 21 days by independent developers and small teams, and TapTap files it under TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker). It is a free trial (试玩 DEMO) on Android, iOS and PC.

How it was built
Partially verifiedIn the creator note on the TapTap page the developer writes that the game could only just be finished thanks above all to 塔啦啦 and GPT, "especially GPT's three resets (four, counting the one in the early hours of 9 August)" ("本游戏能极限做完，首要功臣是塔啦啦和GPT，尤其是GPT的三次重置（算上8月9号凌晨的那次是四次）"). 塔啦啦 appears to be a variant spelling of 嗒啦啦, the agent built into TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker), under which TapTap files the game. The note does not say what either one produced or how much of the code AI wrote, and it does not say which OpenAI product "GPT" refers to, so no separate tool is recorded for it.

Made with TapTap Maker for a 21-day student game jam. The developer's note credits Maker's agent (spelled 塔啦啦 in the note) and GPT as the main reasons it was finished in time, and says the design moved from a light-wave puzzle idea to an action game during development.

Verification notes: The AI credit, the design history and the platform remarks come from the developer's note on the TapTap page. The note spells the agent 塔啦啦; we read it as 嗒啦啦, TapTap Maker's built-in agent, which is our interpretation. "GPT" is quoted as written: the note does not say whether it means ChatGPT or another OpenAI product, so ChatGPT is not listed as a tool. The note calls this the developer's first independently developed game ("第一次独立开发游戏"); that wording does not settle whether the developer worked alone, so team size is left undisclosed. The jam banner (聚光灯 2026 制造新星 第2期, university session, 21-day entries), developer ssaint的工作室 and producer account ssaint, supplier (上海创巴科技有限公司), tags, first-publication time (9 Aug 2026, 13:06 China time, page data), rating, followers and platforms from the TapTap page. Not the same developer as 不经典力学NEWTONignore, another Newton-themed entry in the same session, which TapTap lists under 诺米的工作室. The page's 热度 (heat) figure is not recorded because it is not confirmed to be downloads.
