Tower defense with a rewind button — and the prompt record to prove it
A free browser tower-defense game built around a time-rewind mechanic: place your towers, watch the wave, rewind and fix your timing. About 25–30 hours of work, dozens of AI conversations, and the full prompt history is public.

- Trębacz built the game in roughly 25–30 hours across dozens of separate AI conversations.
- Design and integration stayed human: the maker set the rules of the rewind mechanic, directed each session and decided what shipped.
- The repository publishes the source under MIT and the complete prompt record in PROMPTS.md.
What the person did
