About 星月棋局
A Chinese-language puzzle game released as a test build on TapTap, in black and white. In the story you are 璃华, invited up to the sky by the Moon deity (月神) and the Star Lord (星君) because one of the world's four rules, 涌现 ("emergence"), has been hidden, and you are to glimpse it on the game board. You drop 2×2 blocks into the board's cells: four cells of the same colour clear (归元), and two black and two white in a row, column or cross pattern trigger other effects. The board's edges are connected, so the rightmost column neighbours the leftmost and corners can clear with each other, and enough clears set off a burst (迸发) that blows away broken-up cells. In the creator note the developer says the core idea was a clearing game where you place blocks instead of swapping them, on a board that wraps around left to right, top to bottom and at the corners; the note lists factories, interest, a shop, buffs, relics, difficulty levels, achievements, saves, a tutorial, sound and a story as later additions, with a layer of stackable treasure (法宝) modifiers so that each run can take a different route. The developer writes that the game went through about 27 major updates between 1 and 12 October, was built purely with AI ("纯AI手搓") for a total cost so far of about 70 yuan, and was squeezed in around a day job. TapTap marks it as an entry in its 聚光灯 (Spotlight) 2026 21-day game-creation challenge. It is free to play in the TapTap app on Android and iOS.

How it was built
Partially verifiedIn the creator note on the TapTap page the developer writes that from 1 to 12 October the game went through about 27 major updates and countless small changes, that it was built purely with AI ("纯AI手搓") and that the total cost so far is about 70 yuan ("从10月1号到12号，前后大概27次大更新、小改不计其数，纯AI手搓，目前总成本约70块钱"). The note does not name a tool or model, or say what the 70 yuan was spent on.
- OfficialTapTap files the game under its "聚光灯GameJam" tag and shows the 聚光灯 2026 21-day challenge banner. Neither names the tool used for this game. — TapTap
Built purely with AI between 1 and 12 October in spare time around a day job, per the creator note. The developer says the first version was a bare 3×3 board with four clearing rules; the burst rule and then a reshuffle rule were added when clears could not keep up, followed one by one by factories, interest, a shop, buffs, relics, difficulty levels, achievements, saves, a tutorial, sound and story, each rebalanced in turn. The name changed several times along the way.

Verification notes: AI use, build time and cost come from the developer's creator note on the TapTap page, which says the game was built purely with AI (纯AI手搓); it is recorded as vibe-coded on that basis. The tool is recorded as undisclosed because the note only says "AI". The total cost of about 70 yuan is the developer's figure; the note does not say what it covers, so no cost in US dollars is recorded. Team size is not stated; the note is written in the first person. The page does not carry the TapTap制造 tag, but it lists the supplier as 上海创巴科技有限公司, places the game in TapTap's 创意工坊 section and 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. Developer 喵天意工作室 and producer account sunnyhzx521, tags (聚光灯GameJam, 休闲), the 聚光灯 2026 21-day challenge banner, the game description (shown shortened on the page), the release date (上线日期 12 Oct 2026; 03:35 China time in page data, which the structured data gives as 11 Oct in UTC), rating, followers and platforms from the TapTap page. The page's separate "Android 正式上线日期" field reads 14 Jan 2026, a date that appears on many TapTap制造 pages and predates the build period the developer gives, so it is not used. Challenge results were not checked. 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. No source outside TapTap was found.
