What is RetroBurn?

RetroBurn is a single-file HTML5 canvas game built with Claude AI. You pilot a spaceship through a randomly generated universe using Newtonian physics—gravity pulls you toward objects, atmospheric drag slows your movement, and limited thrust fuel depletes your score when used. The challenge is to navigate without crashing while managing your resources carefully.

The game runs entirely in the browser with no external dependencies and weighs less than 50KB. It's designed as an addictive, quick-play experience that demonstrates what's possible with AI-assisted game development. The maker built it with Claude AI in approximately ten minutes and subsequently enhanced it further.
