Each of the game's 16 national teams is led by a captain named after a real professional footballer, among them Neymar (Brazil), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Kylian Mbappé (France), Harry Kane (England), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Christian Pulisic (USA); the sidekicks and goalkeepers have invented names. The web app's manifest describes the teams as World Cup teams. No source mentions a licence or permission from the players, their national associations or FIFA. (Zeno AI (Vercel))

About Zeno AI Strikers
Zeno AI Strikers is a fast arcade five-a-side football (soccer) game that runs in the browser, free and with no sign-up. You pick one of 16 national teams, from Brazil and Argentina to Japan, the USA and Morocco, and choose a captain, a power striker, a speedster or a playmaker, who leads a sidekick and a goalkeeper. The game's menus offer a tournament with quarter-finals and semi-finals, versus and co-op matches for two players on one screen, a penalty shootout with charge-to-aim shots, and online matches in lobbies joined with a code, against CPU teams at Rookie, Pro or Legend level. Each national team's captain carries the name of a real footballer, such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Harry Kane, while the other players have invented names. It plays with a keyboard, and the developer recommends an Xbox or PlayStation controller, connected by cable or Bluetooth. The developer, who posts on Reddit as a surgeon whose research is about AI in healthcare, says the games are built as a hobby with Claude Code, mostly with Opus models, and that Claude Code wrote the code while the developer played each build and said what to improve. The developer also says online play still has a few bugs.
How it was built
Partially verifiedIn a post on r/ClaudeAI (28 Oct 2026, UTC) the developer says all of their games are built with Claude Code on a Max plan, mostly with Opus models: “I built this one and Claude Code wrote the code.” The workflow is iterative: the developer plays the game, tells Claude how to improve it, Claude fixes and tests it, and the developer plays again. No specific model version is named.
- DeveloperEarlier post on r/indiegames (27 Oct 2026): the developer is close to finishing “a series of Claude-coded sports games”. — Reddit (u/YasuoMain528)
Per the developer, built as a hobby in Claude Code (Max plan, mostly Opus models) in a loop of playing a build, telling Claude what to improve, and letting it fix and test the change. The game's code bundle includes three.js for the 3D pitch and PeerJS (WebRTC) for online lobbies, which connect players browser to browser; the menus offer tournament, versus, co-op, shootout and online play, with CPU difficulty set to Rookie, Pro or Legend.

“I built this one and Claude Code wrote the code.”Verification notes: The Claude Code claim comes from the developer's post on r/ClaudeAI by u/YasuoMain528 (28 Oct 2026, 15:34 UTC; the same text was posted to r/ClaudeGameDev at 03:50 UTC that day), read from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive because reddit.com did not answer our checks; the post links this page twice. An earlier post on r/indiegames (27 Oct 2026, 03:42 UTC) is the first share we found; no release date is stated. Teams, captains, modes, difficulty levels and the online lobbies come from the game's page, its web app manifest and the strings in its code bundle (checked 4 Nov 2026); the game was not played. The bundle includes three.js, PeerJS and a Supabase client for sign-in by email link or GitHub; we found no calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter or Groq, and the CPU teams are game logic, so no AI is used during play. The 16 captains carry real footballers' names (see the IP notice). The developer's surgeon description comes from the posts; their name, team size and location are not stated.
