About 猫猫进化：元素涌动
A Chinese-language game that mixes card strategy with civilisation simulation, released as a test build on TapTap. In a world of surging elements a colony of cats is building a home, threatened by beasts and barbarians beyond its borders and by unbalanced elements that keep changing the terrain. You play element cards to cancel out the elements behind these changes, or fuse and upgrade cards to reshape the land and open up room for the civilisation to grow, and use resource cards to build the village, gather resources and hold off outside threats. The creator note says the game was built around the jam theme, 涌现 ("emergence"), seen in the new cards that emerge from fusion, in the terrain's ongoing natural changes and in the mutated monsters that keep pouring out. The team writes that this was their first attempt to develop a game entirely with AI tools, that they underestimated how many bugs AI produces, and that for lack of time some balancing is unfinished and the game is on the hard side. TapTap files it under TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker), its AI game-making tool, and marks it as an entry in its 聚光灯 (Spotlight) 2026 21-day game-creation challenge. 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 team writes that this was their first attempt to develop a game entirely with AI tools and that they underestimated AI's "bug productivity" ("第一次尝试全部使用AI 工具开发游戏，我们低估了 AI 的 BUG 生产力"). The note does not name a tool or model. TapTap lists the game under TapTap制造 (TapTap Maker), but the developers do not say which tool was used for this game, so the tool is recorded as undisclosed.
- OfficialTapTap files the game under its "TapTap制造" and "聚光灯GameJam" tags and shows the 聚光灯 2026 21-day challenge banner. The tags do not name the tool used for this game. — TapTap
Made for TapTap's 21-day 聚光灯 2026 challenge on the theme 涌现 (emergence), developed entirely with AI tools as the team's first attempt at that, per the creator note. The team says time ran short, so some of the balancing was left unfinished, and plans to take player suggestions once updates open.

Verification notes: AI use comes from the team's creator note on the TapTap page, which says the game was developed entirely with AI tools ("全部使用AI 工具开发"); it is recorded as vibe-coded on that basis. The note says only "AI tools", so the tool is recorded as undisclosed. The page credits two people, 四九 (badge "《错误逃离：Bug Escape》制作人/策划/程序") and xjwpx (badge "《猫猫进化：元素涌动》制作人/策划/运营"), and the note uses "we" (我们), so the developer is recorded as a team; team size is not otherwise stated. Developer 笛笛龙游戏工作室, supplier (上海创巴科技有限公司), tags (聚光灯GameJam, TapTap制造, 策略), the 聚光灯 2026 banner (21-day entries by independent developers and small teams), the game description, first-publication time (19 Oct 2026, 17:20 China time, page data), rating, followers and platforms from the TapTap page. The page also says this level was created from the TapTap game 策略游戏合集（TapTap测试版）; the supplier may belong to that parent collection rather than to this developer. No challenge result for the game was found. Nothing on the page describes AI-generated content during play. The page's 热度 (heat) figure is not recorded because it is not confirmed to be downloads.
