This project is a skill for Claude Code, the AI coding tool, that takes a working but plain-looking game and automatically upgrades its visuals to look hand-crafted. Instead of writing code, the developer points Claude Code at a game project and the skill handles the art overhaul, taking around 20 minutes for a full run. The process happens in three stages. First, the skill studies the game and writes a style guide describing its visual language, including lighting rules like a single light direction and a shared warm color tone, so everything generated afterward matches. Second, it generates every visual element in the game as its own separate transparent image using the fal.ai image generation service, removes each background, and trims each sprite so its edges line up correctly. Character animations get real multi-frame movement cycles built from a single starting frame so they stay consistent. Third, it rebuilds the scene using layered parallax scrolling, so background elements like sky, clouds, hills, and buildings move at different speeds, with a simple lighting pass that ties all the layers together visually. Because each visual element is its own separate image, a developer can later ask Claude Code to fix or regenerate just one sprite without touching the rest of the artwork. Using this requires Claude Code itself, along with a fal.ai account and API key connected through fal.ai's MCP server, since the actual image generation happens through that paid service. The skill's author notes that a full game visual overhaul with 30 to 60 sprites typically costs a few dollars in generation fees. The default visual style baked into the skill is a hand painted cartoon look, though it can derive a different style from a game's existing art or follow a style description the developer writes themselves. It was built and tested on iOS games made with SwiftUI and SpriteKit, though the underlying recipes are meant to work with any 2D game engine.
