A hand-drawn top-down city on notebook paper. Steal cars, run courier jobs for cash, outrun the cops. Arrows or WASD, E for cars, space to drift.

How it was made

Built with Claude Code in one session for the Velven starter set, after a hand-drawn shooter on X set the look. The city, roads and ruled paper are one procedural shader; buildings are merged boxes with screen-space hatching and wobbly ink edges; cars, pedestrians, cops and courier jobs run on a small arcade physics loop. Claude iterated against its own headless-browser screenshots and scripted chases to tune the cops.
