About Tidal Wings
Tidal Wings (潮汐战翼) is a free pixel-art vertical shoot-'em-up that runs in the browser on Bilibili Toy and is best played in portrait mode. In the campaign you fly against scout wings, gunboat screens, carriers, a dreadnought and a supercarrier across a run of sea stages, each with star goals; there is also a daily challenge in which every player gets the same stages and random seed, and an endless mode. Combos raise your firepower, grazing bullets earns rewards and a Red Tide Airstrike can be triggered; between runs you unlock aircraft in a hangar with coins or craft them from collected fragments, and you can save or share result and aircraft cards. The interface is in English with a Simplified Chinese translation. The developer, the Bilibili creator 达罗斯风暴, says the game was first made about a month earlier with GPT-5.6 in Codex and later reworked with Claude Opus 5.5 to improve the controls and add detail, over “countless rounds” of adjustments. Free; the developer says it is easier to control on a phone.
How it was built
Partially verifiedIn a Bilibili video (30 Sep 2026, UTC+8) the developer describes the game as a plane-shooting mini-game made a month earlier with GPT-5.6: the description says “一个月前用gpt5.6做的打飞机小游戏” (a plane-shooting mini-game I made with gpt5.6 a month ago) and the title says “更新下用之前codex做的小游戏” (an update to the mini-game I made earlier with codex). No other detail of the Codex work is given.
The same video says the developer “最近换claude了，来优化下手感了” (recently switched to Claude to improve the feel) and, in the title, “这种用opus5.5再丰富了下细节” (this time used opus5.5 to enrich the details); the Toy version was updated with the result. Asked in the comments how many rounds it took, the developer replies “无数轮了…各种调整” (countless rounds, all sorts of adjustments). The app used to run Opus 5.5 is not named.
Made first with GPT-5.6 in Codex and later reworked with Claude Opus 5.5, per the developer. The Toy build is an HTML5 game with one bundled script, an English interface and a Simplified Chinese translation table; the script contains no AI service addresses. No engine is named.

“一个月前用gpt5.6做的打飞机小游戏，最近换claude了，来优化下手感了”Verification notes: AI use from the title and description of the developer's Bilibili video (30 Sep 2026, 16:12 UTC+8; 148 s) and the developer's pinned comment and replies under it, read through Bilibili's public page data on 8 Nov 2026; the description and the pinned comment link the Toy page. The title (Tidal Wings, 潮汐战翼 in Chinese) comes from the game's own page title and the Toy page; modes and features are read from the strings of the game's script, fetched on 8 Nov 2026, which contains no AI service addresses. The code claim rests on the developer's description of the game as made with Codex (GPT-5.6) and refined with Opus 5.5; no share of AI-written code is stated, so none is recorded. The same developer made Beacon Under Siege and said of it that the aim was to make a game without writing code; that statement is about the other game. Developer: the Bilibili creator 达罗斯风暴 (uid 3546713541315240), the same account as for Beacon Under Siege; no name, location or team size is given. The video had 15,168 views and 159 comments on 8 Nov 2026 (observed; not metrics). No release date is shown; the developer says the first version was made about a month before the video. The game was not played.
