About the game:

Hop into a cozy 3D parkour adventure! Play as a curious rabbit exploring a familiar, oversized world. Leap across platforms, discover hidden paths, and collect carrots at your own pace. This game was designed and developed with AI to create a thoughtful, relaxing experience.

Gameplay

• Parkour-based movement (jump, dash, bounce)
• Collect carrots to progress through cozy micro-missions
• Hand-crafted level design with multiple routes to explore
• No fail states, designed for flow and relaxation

How AI Shaped This Game

• Game Design: Claude helped conceptualize core mechanics and level design philosophy
• Character & Environment: DALL-E inspired visual direction and aesthetic
• Level Architecture: AI analysis informed optimal difficulty curves and carrot placement strategies
• Design Philosophy: Gemini helped define what makes a cozy, accessible game experience

The game is built on AI-informed design, not just as a showcase, but as a practical tool for better game development.
