I applied for a position at PostHog, so I built a game

AI Analysis
●●SolidCozyCrowd Pleaser
Hedgehog vs dinosaur pixel brawler built entirely to land a job at PostHog.
Strengths
- •Turning a job application into a playable game is a genuinely clever interview strategy.
- •Pixel art style and core loop feel polished despite likely being a quick build.
- •The 'why I built this' story gives it more weight than a standard game jam entry.
Weaknesses
- •As a game, it lacks unique mechanics or depth beyond the novelty of its origin story.
- •Long-term engagement is low; it's a five-minute experience rather than a lasting product.

I built an AI that generates pixel art sprite animations
Turns text prompts into looped pixel-sprite animations with on-site playback and spritesheet/GIF export, which is immediately useful for rapid prototyping. The live preview and palette controls feel catered to creators, but the real value will hinge on consistency across frames (same character, directional sprites) and granular timing/frame controls.

Top Down Sprite Maker – The ultimate pixel art character creator
The real hook is the style-pack system: each sprite style ships as a ZIP that defines animations, layers and frame sizes so you can swap visual pipelines without hacking the app. Smart layering rules and constrained randomization make it fast to iterate characters, and the export controls (sequencing, layout, per-frame sizing) show the author thought about real game pipelines. It’s not revolutionary — desktop Java + paid style ecosystem limits reach — but it’s a useful, focused tool for pixel-art workflows.
