What is the best AI tool for making games from a prompt?

We haven't picked one yet. Testing is in progress. The candidates we're testing are Rosebud AI, Cursor, Unity AI, Claude Code, Replit Agent. The tiers stay empty until every tool has run the same standardized test and the receipts are published.

How will VibeTierList rank each AI game-making tool?

Every tool gets the same task: 'Make a playable browser platformer with 3 levels.' The prompt, budget, time limit and scoring sheet are identical for every tool.

Can a AI game-making tool pay to rank higher?

No. Payment never buys rank on VibeTierList. Sponsored content, if any, is always labeled and kept separate from the tiers.
