About Emoji Survivors

Emoji Survivors is a survival shooter that makes you a mage facing endless waves of emoji monsters. Each run is a fight to stay alive as the horde grows, collecting upgrades that reshape your build and help you clear the screen before the crowd overwhelms you.

The creator says they had long wanted to build a complete game from scratch, and that AI made it possible. Codex was the AI in question, and the game ranked 196th of 945 at Vibe Jam 2026.

The upgrades are the focus, and they stack. Your choices push the mage in chaotic directions, so each run can end up with a different set of powers, and the playful emoji enemies sit in contrast with the escalating pressure of the waves.
