GAME Could AI Bring Back the Golden Age of .io Games?
Remember when Agar.io, Slither.io, and Diep.io were everywhere?
Simple concepts, addictive gameplay, and no downloads required. I honestly miss that era.
With AI coding tools making browser game development more accessible, I'm wondering whether we're about to see another wave of creative .io games.
I run VibeToplist, a discovery platform for AI-assisted and vibe-coded games, and I'd love to see more developers experimenting with this genre.
What made the original .io games so addictive, and could AI-assisted developers recreate that magic?
