About The Great Taxi Assignment
GTA-style taxi runs across a 3D city. Pick up, drop off, beat the clock.
It won Vibe Jam 2025, Winner.
Crazy Taxi in a sunny 80s 'Vibe City'. Pick up a passenger, follow the arrow and radar to their stop, and drop them off before the clock runs out. Each delivery adds time based on distance, but the bonus shrinks as you go, so runs get harder.
The jury summed it up: 'great car physics, feels good, instant fun.' There is a radio, and yes, you can run people over.
How The Great Taxi Assignment was made with AI
The in-game credits are unusually specific: '99% of code was AI generated (Cursor AI + Claude Sonnet 3.7). 2D art was created using GPT-4o. Music was created using Suno AI. Sound effects were created using ElevenLabs.' Bencko built it in 60 hours during Vibe Jam 2025, and it won first place and $10,000 out of more than 1,000 entries.
