Channel: Creauctopus / @miniyeti88 Video: Watch on YouTube Tool: Abacus AI Deep Agent (sponsor)

Vibe coding a complete 2D mobile game (Fruit Merge clone — 10M+ downloads on Google Play) from prompt to functional APK in ~1.5 hours.

What Was Built

A Fruit Merge clone — 2D physics-based game where similar fruits merge on collision. Features:

  • 2D physics engine — realistic collision and merging mechanics
  • In-app purchases — billing code integrated
  • Fonts, icons, art — all AI-generated
  • APK export — store-ready Android package

The Tool: Abacus AI Deep Agent

The creator used Abacus AI Deep Agent as the primary coding agent. Experience: 6-7 months of vibe coding, already experienced with the tool.

Key Insight

“The interesting shift here isn’t really about speed. It’s about what actually requires your input now.”

  • AI handles: physics, billing code, font loading, icons, APK building
  • You still need: game feel, art direction, core loop fun, design decisions

Vibe coding is described as “a different way of working, where you focus more on the decisions.”

Prompts

The full game spec and IAP prompt are available in the video description. Prompts can be reused to build something different.

Next Steps (Part 2?)

Creator suggested making a follow-up on:

  • Getting the game onto app stores
  • Setting up IAP products
  • Going through App Store review
