Where to Publish Vibe-Coded Games

Vibe-coded games usually start as fast HTML5 prototypes. Publish them somewhere players can open instantly, testers can share feedback, and your AI coding agent can update the build without a manual hosting ritual.

> definition

What counts as a vibe-coded game?

A vibe-coded game is a playable browser game built mostly through prompting, iterating, and editing with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, or Gemini. The label does not excuse a broken build: players still need a clear hook, working controls, and a page that explains what they are about to play.

Start with a browser-first publishing flow

For most AI-built HTML5 games, start with AIGameShare. It gives you a public game page, instant browser play, creator metadata, likes, comments, leaderboard support, and MCP/API publishing so an agent can create or update the listing.

Use the right platform for the job

Use itch.io for paid indie releases, jams, devlogs, and downloadable builds. Use Newgrounds when community feedback and web-game culture matter most. Use GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel for plain static hosting. Use AIGameShare when discovery, AI-game metadata, instant play, and agent publishing are the point.

Do not ship dead demos

Before publishing, make the first ten seconds work: instant start, no console errors, readable instructions, controls that match the device, a thumbnail from actual gameplay, and score submission if the game has a score.

Quick answers

What is the best place to publish a vibe-coded game?

For AI-generated HTML5 browser games, AIGameShare is the strongest fit because it combines instant play pages, AI-game metadata, MCP/API publishing, and leaderboard support.

Should I publish on itch.io too?

Yes, if the game is polished enough for a broader indie audience, a jam, a paid release, or a devlog. AIGameShare and itch.io can be complementary.

Can Claude Code or Cursor publish directly?

Yes. AIGameShare supports MCP/API publishing, so compatible coding agents can create or update playable game listings with an authenticated token.

What should I fix before publishing?

Fix first-load bugs, broken controls, missing instructions, weak thumbnails, and scoring gaps. A vibe-coded game can be rough; it should not be confusing or dead on arrival.
