Tongue Twista – A Retro-Inspired Web Game Built in Hours

Tongue Twista is a fast-paced web game I built in just a few hours using Lovable.Dev — a platform for rapidly building small creative projects with minimal code overhead. The game is a randomized deck of 30 cards, each featuring a different tongue twister.

Summary

Tongue Twista is a fast-paced web game I built in just a few hours using Lovable.Dev — a platform for rapidly building small creative projects with minimal code overhead. The game is a randomized deck of 30 cards, each featuring a different tongue twister. Users swipe right (or tap the green button) if they pronounce the phrase correctly, or swipe left (red button) if they stumble over the words — keeping score as they go.

Why I Built It

This project was an experiment in "vibe coding" — building something fun, fast, and functional without overengineering. I wanted to show how accessible and satisfying it can be to bring a playful concept to life quickly using modern tools.

What I Learned

  • • Leveraged Lovable.Dev for rapid prototyping and design
  • • Focused on UX through swipe gestures and visual feedback
  • • Explored social mechanics through shareable scores
  • • Even simple web games can delight users and inspire competition
