Vibe Coder Simulator

Manage a SAAS development empire from your room. Start with $1,500 and a basic AI model, build applications, handle economics, and vibe your way to profit.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

• SAAS Development: Create applications by selecting name, domain, technology, and complexity. Pay upfront costs and wait for development timers to complete.
• Revenue and Churn: Generate monthly recurring revenue (MRR) from subscribers. Monthly churn reduces subscriber count; bugs increase churn penalties until patched.
• Patching and Upgrades: Patch bugs to reset penalties, improve base churn rates, and increment app versions.
• Marketing: Invest $1,000–$20,000 in campaigns to lower churn and add 5%–40% more subscribers.
• Research and AI Models: Unlock domain bonuses and advanced models. Models incur monthly fees but enhance development efficiency.
• Events and Management: Handle random social media reviews that affect churn. Retire dead SAAS (0 subscribers for 3 months).
• Win Condition: Reach $10,000 MRR to win.
