You can't really code. You have an LLM subscription and a dream of passive income. That's enough. VibeCode Simulator is a satirical, pixel-art founder life sim you play with one thumb: one decision card at a time — swipe left or right. Growth bros, crypto idiots, Tesla cultists, TikTok goblins, LinkedIn prophets and one very tired lawyer land on your desk every week; every choice is a temptation with a delayed cost. Five meters on the surface — Runway, Hype, Product, Heat, Sanity — and a deep simulation of fifteen interlocking stats underneath. Dragging a card shows WHICH meters a choice touches, never the numbers: you learn this world by shipping garbage into it. Fully native for iPhone: animated title, living ending scenes, haptic swipe deck. • One-thumb swipe play, haptics, dusty lofi soundtrack made for 2 AM deploys • 645 satirical events across seven phases, from broke bedroom to founder mansion • 14 collectible fates — Real Company, Alpha Bro Empire, Beloved and Broke, Out of Runway… • Daily run: one shared seed for the whole planet, once per day • Home-screen widget: today's seed & your streak. Game Center fates + daily leaderboard. iCloud sync. • Founder Graveyard: every dead startup remembered • Share your ending as a pixel card • Single-player. Offline. No account, no ads, no tracking. Ship garbage. Gain hype. Try not to become a guru.
