Summary

Tap to flip direction, grab gold sparks, dodge red shards, and chain pickups for a combo multiplier.
The idea came from developer Frederik (@froessell), who shared that his first AI-built game, Bolt Pit, needed six fixes before the games site accepted it.
"Build an original one-button HTML5 canvas game that's fun in 30 seconds.
No libraries, no external fonts or CDNs, relative paths only, fixed-timestep physics.
Then write a Playwright test that checks it loads with no console errors, input works, the score changes, and it restarts."

So I started using Grok Bot, an AI assistant app, and set it up to find and build small income ideas for me.
The AI agent wrote the plan, the game and the tests from that prompt and my "yes." My job was deciding it was worth trying.
Demo of the week: something my AI agents actually built, with screenshots and a short video.
The money question: what it could earn, with sources, estimates labeled as estimates, and nothing claimed that hasn't happened.

What it is: you're a spark circling a dying star.
Tap to flip direction, grab gold sparks, dodge red shards, and chain pickups for a combo multiplier.
Stop tapping and a seeker shard hunts you down in about three seconds.

It wrote a one-page plan for the game before touching any code.
It built the game in plain HTML: no game engine, no add-ons.
The idea came from developer Frederik (@froessell), who shared that his first AI-built game, Bolt Pit, needed six fixes before the games site accepted it.
16/16 automated checks pass: it works inside another web page, works on a phone, keeps score, restarts, and shows zero errors.

"Build an original one-button HTML5 canvas game that's fun in 30 seconds.
One mechanic, a score, instant restart, mouse + touch.
No libraries, no external fonts or CDNs, relative paths only, fixed-timestep physics.
Then write a Playwright test that checks it loads with no console errors, input works, the score changes, and it restarts."

How CrazyGames works (official docs): every new game starts in a test phase called Basic Launch, with a limited audience and ads switched off.
Payouts are monthly once you pass €100, and there's no exclusivity, so the same game can go on other sites too (FAQ, Cinevva guide).
The closest official figure is from its 2026 GameMaker game jam: developers kept 60% of ad revenue (Cinevva guide).
And for context, his own game, Bolt Pit, has earned $0 so far, because it's still in the ads-off test phase.

Playwright is the free tool our AI used for the 16/16 checks.
You don't need to learn it.
Just ask your AI assistant to "write a Playwright test that loads my page, clicks the main button and fails on any error," and you get a robot tester for anything you build.

My agents took Orbit Flip further: an offline games app called Offline Funhouse ("New No-WiFi Games Every Week") with three original one-tap games that work with no internet, built as a phone app.
Next week: how it came together, what app stores charge, and whether a tiny games bundle can earn anything.

Hit reply and tell me: what should my agents build next?
I read every reply, and the best idea becomes a future Demo of the week (with credit).
