A developer posting as u/JussiCook used Claude Code and Opus 5.5 to build a mobile football game inspired by Sensible Soccer. The author describes a few evenings of work and 44 pull requests, with one-thumb controls that already felt playable to them.
Claude Code was used from the start of the project. It also helped set up GitHub Actions for browser-playable test versions and Android APK builds from the main branch. The author reports that the game can be played on iOS as a progressive web app, although that version lacks haptics. An IPA build was a future plan, not a completed result.
In a follow-up comment, the developer says they asked for changes piece by piece rather than trying to generate the whole game in one attempt. They list four league divisions, promotion and relegation, cup competitions at three difficulty levels, team customisation and unlockable achievements among the implemented features. They were considering freezing features to concentrate on playability.
The outcome is a playable prototype and a build workflow, not a released app or a demonstrated commercial success. The author requested constructive feedback and offered to supply an APK. Who it's for: developers prototyping a game incrementally while retaining control of scope and playtesting.
