About Zeno AI Sticks
Zeno AI Sticks is an arcade 5-on-5 ice hockey game that runs in the browser for free. You play against CPU teams at Rookie, Pro or Legend level with skating, dekes, body checks and slap shots, and the game's web app manifest also lists fights and shootouts. Its menus offer playoffs, versus and co-op matches, a shootout, free skate and online matches in lobbies joined with a code, and a tutorial teaches every move in short lessons, from lifting the puck to blocking shots. The 16 clubs are invented, such as the Northvale Frostbirds, the Ironwood Wolves and the Duskmoor Revenants. It plays with a keyboard or an Xbox controller, which the developer says plays better. It is the developer's second sports game after Zeno AI Strikers: the developer, who posts on Reddit as a surgery resident, says Claude Code wrote the game and its tests from the developer's design notes and playtest feedback, including the physics, the CPU players and the tutorial.
How it was built
Partially verifiedIn a post on r/ClaudeAI (2 Nov 2026, UTC) the developer says the game was built with Claude Code: “Claude Code wrote the game and its tests from my design notes and playtest feedback, including the physics, the CPU players and the tutorial.” The post does not name a model.
Per the developer, Claude Code wrote the game and its tests from the developer's design notes and playtest feedback, including the physics, the CPU players and the tutorial. The game's code bundle uses three.js for the rink and PeerJS (WebRTC) for online lobbies, which connect players browser to browser, and shares its menu and lobby code with Zeno AI Strikers.

“Claude Code wrote the game and its tests from my design notes and playtest feedback, including the physics, the CPU players and the tutorial.”Verification notes: The Claude Code claim comes from the developer's post on r/ClaudeAI by u/YasuoMain528 (2 Nov 2026, 01:39 UTC), read from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive because reddit.com did not answer our checks; the post calls it the developer's second game and links this page and the Zeno AI Games directory. The first share we found is a post on r/ClaudeGameDev (1 Nov 2026, 19:21 UTC) announcing “my second sports game out”; no release date is stated. Modes, difficulty levels, clubs and the tutorial come from the post, the game's page, its web app manifest and the strings in its code bundle (checked 4 Nov 2026); the game was not played. All 16 club names in the bundle are invented, and we found no real players' names. The bundle includes three.js, PeerJS and a Supabase client for sign-in; we found no calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter or Groq, and the CPU players are game logic, so no AI is used during play. The developer's name, team size and location are not stated.
