Could you build this?
Partial A small platformer prototype is vibe-codeable with engines like Godot or Unity. A polished commercial game also needs level design, pixel art, music, and playtesting, which a coding assistant can't provide.
What it would actually take: Use Godot or Unity with tilemaps, a character controller, and a level-loading system, which an AI assistant can scaffold quickly. The hard parts are the art direction, animation, sound, and level design that make a platformer feel good. A real release requires artists, a sound designer, and iterative playtesting.
