At Ray, we believe that browser games can be more than just something you click to pass time. They can be artistic, social, and genuinely fun. That’s why we created the Ray Vibe Awards, a celebration of the most exciting, polished, and creative games made with AI-assisted tools, generated assets, and multiplayer tech, all playable right in your browser.
After hundreds of playtests, unexpected laughs, and "wait, play that again" moments, we're proud to announce this year's winners. Here’s who took home the prizes, and more importantly, why.
🎧 Best Audio/Visual Vibe
Celebrating the game with the most polished, immersive, and cohesive visual and audio design. This category rewards style, atmosphere, and the creative use of sound and graphics to elevate the player experience.
Winner: Roots of Power ($500)
Developer: Flyber
Made with: ChatGPT, BUU AI 3D assets, Unity
Roots of Power immediately stood out with its lush 3D environments, fantasy world-building, and incredibly polished visuals. The Lost City of Elements feels alive. The environments are detailed, the characters have charm, and the textures and lighting are rich without overwhelming the screen.
But the real magic comes from how the audio complements the visuals. The soundtrack fits the mood perfectly, and the voiceovers bring a sense of presence to every moment. The sound design goes beyond ambient filler, enhancing gameplay and immersing players in the story. This game nails the full package of look, feel, and sound.\
Honorable Mentions
I Am Sword
Developer: SUMZERO
Made with: ChatGPT, Copilot
Fast-paced pixel combat with crisp animations and satisfying sound effects. You feel the impact of every slash, crash, and swoosh.
CrossBird
Developer: Blue Wizard Digital
Made with: ChatGPT 4o, 4.5 + Claude 3.7 for coding. ChatGPT/DallE for image assets.
A minimal puzzle game that manages to feel tactile and polished. Subtle animations and bird-chirp sound cues give each correct word a rewarding sense of completion.
🫂 Best Social Vibe
Awarded to the game that creates the strongest sense of community, connection, or multiplayer presence. Whether through real-time interaction, creative collaboration, or chaotic fun with friends, this game made social gameplay shine.
Winner: Space Zero ($500)
Developer: Doeon Kwon
Made with: Cursor for coding, Meshy.ai for 3D models
Space Zero blew us away with how naturally it creates social moments. It’s not just a multiplayer game with chat. It’s a place where people can build, explore, and exist together in a generative world. The ability to craft and share your own worlds adds a creative layer that feels more like a virtual playground than a typical online game.
The real-time avatars and persistent chat help players feel like they're part of a living space. Whether you're exploring user-made content or just hanging out, it offers a kind of casual presence that most browser games don’t even attempt
Honorable Mentions
Roko’s Rebellion
Developer: @swe_acc (on X/Twitter)
Made with: Code by Claude Sonnet 3.5 (later 3.7), with some GPT o1, mostly in Cursor. Riffusion for music.
Roko's Rebellion is a quick-to-join, chaotic battle arena where players drop into action instantly. It’s scrappy, fast, and full of potential for community play.
Ray Motorsport
Developer: Indigo007
Made with: ChatGPT 4.0, Suno AI.
A multiplayer racer that’s fun with friends and shows real promise. The core gameplay is solid and just needs smoother networking to shine.
🫂 Best Overall Vibe
Given to the most fun, original, and well-executed game of them all. This is the one we kept coming back to; the game that combined creativity, clarity, and pure gameplay joy in a way that stuck with us long after we stopped playing.
Winner: Quantum Chaos ($1,500)
Developer: monolapse
Made with: Claude AI, ChatGPT, Unity AI
Quantum Chaos was simply the most fun game we played. The concept is wild. You control a quantum supergun that blasts enemies and flings your character across the screen from the sheer force of recoil. It’s unpredictable, ridiculous, and completely satisfying.
What makes it special is how intuitive it is. You instantly understand what’s going on, and the feedback loop is tight. The physics feel just right. The visuals are harsh and blocky in a way that perfectly suits the chaotic gameplay. You can feel the design discipline behind the madness, and there’s enough depth that we kept coming back for more.
Honorable Mentions
I Am Sword
Developer: SUMZERO
Made with: ChatGPT, Copilot
A repeat mention for good reason. It's simple, original, and gets better the more you play. The core mechanic becomes meditative and satisfying once it clicks.\
Over the Horizon
Developer: monolapse
Made with: Claude, Unity AI (assistant)
A rover-racing game powered by the setting sun. It’s fast, smooth, and has a great sense of momentum. If you’ve ever loved games like Tony Hawk or Skate, this one will feel familiar in the best way.
