How the ranking works
VibeGamesList is 100% automatic: a robot finds games made with AI, reviews them and sorts them with the same formula for everyone. There are no paid placements and no affiliate links. Right now there are 503 games on the list.
Rules for listed games
- The game's code must be written mostly with AI (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, Lovable…), according to the creator or the game jam rules.
- It must be playable and free to try. Our AI rates every game from 0 to 10: only games rated 7 or higher, with a cover image, are listed automatically.
- Not allowed: scams, malware or abusive ads, adult or offensive content, stolen or copied games, and games that don't load. Every link is checked with Google Safe Browsing.
- One vote per person every 24 hours. Suspicious votes are ignored.
- A game that stays down for 2 days leaves the list, and comes back by itself when it's online again.
The ranking formula
| Part | Points |
|---|---|
| Quality (our rating ×2) | 0 – 20 |
| Popularity (real plays and awards) | up to +36 from public play counts where the game was launched, plus up to +19 for jam winners; games without public numbers get the median |
| Plays this week | +1 per play |
| Player votes | +3 per vote this week, plus a bonus for all-time votes |
| Discord community | up to +12 (members and online now) |
| Stability (uptime) | up to −8 if the game is often down, −5 if offline now |
| New game bonus | +4, fading to 0 over 7 days |
| Editor pick | +25 |
Every game page shows its own points under “How it is ranked”. Status is checked every 3 hours, the game's site (Discord, language, links) every 2 days, and the ranking is recalculated every hour.
How to rank higher (for creators)
- Make the game better: the quality rating is the biggest part of the score.
- Put your Discord invite link (discord.gg/…) visibly on your game's page: we read the member and online counts automatically.
- Keep the game online and fast: we measure uptime and response time.
- Set the language in
<html lang="en">and link your socials (X, YouTube, Steam, itch.io, Reddit) on the page: they show up on your game's page here. - Ask players to vote, and add the VibeGamesList badge to your site (at the bottom of every game page).
