How to adapt the prompt
Keep the first version narrow, then add visual polish, pacing changes, or leaderboard goals after the browser draft is easy to test.
Mechanics to include
- Define the main puzzle game objective in one sentence.
- Show score, failure, and restart states without extra navigation.
- Keep controls and feedback readable in the first playable draft.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Requesting too many advanced systems before the core loop works.
- Leaving scoring or failure feedback ambiguous.
- Skipping a public example before starting the creator workflow.
