🎮 GEO Search Runner — by Ozvor

Get cited by the AI — or get buried.

An 8-bit endless runner about GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): run your brand across the AI answer engines and get cited — dodge the things that bury you (hallucinations, no schema, blocked crawlers, pop-ups) and grab citations, structured data, and top answers.

Single self-contained index.html. No dependencies, no build step.

🤖 The idea

People don't just Google anymore — they ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews who to buy from. If the AI doesn't cite you, it cites your competitor. This game turns that race into a runner: you're a little search-bot trying to become quotable across all five engines. It's the playful version of what Ozvor does for real.

🕹️ The 5 engines (levels)

Each level is a different AI engine and gets harder. Reach the goal to level up.

#	Engine	The challenge	Buries you
1	Google AI Overviews	Show up in the overview	THIN CONTENT, NO SCHEMA, KEYWORD STUFFING
2	Perplexity	Be a citation source	NO CITATION, LOW AUTHORITY, NO E-E-A-T
3	Gemini	Grounded & structured	UNGROUNDED CLAIM, MESSY DATA, STALE PAGE
4	ChatGPT	Be the name it recommends	MODEL CUTOFF, BLOCKED CRAWLER, ROBOTS.TXT
5	Claude	Prove E-E-A-T, be the default	NO EXPERTISE, UNTRUSTWORTHY, AI BIAS

Cite your way through all five → CITED BY ALL 5 AIs + a trophy, and you unlock AUTOPILOT — an endless "weekly re-check" mode that keeps ramping (chase your best AI Visibility score).

⚙️ Mechanics

• 🟩 { } Schema / structured data → refills readiness + 2x points for a few seconds.
• 📄 Citation [1] → adds to your AI Visibility score.
• ⭐ Top Answer (glowing, flees) → big score, chase it mid-air.
• 🔴 Penalties (NO SCHEMA, HALLUCINATION, …) → jump over them.
• 🪟 Pop-ups / ad walls → duck under them.
• 🧠 AI engine boss → appears periodically to "check" you; jump over.
• 🔥 EXECUTION combo → chain citations without getting hit for a growing multiplier.
• ❤️❤️❤️ 3 lives — a hit de-ranks you (lose a life + brief invincibility) but keeps your progress. Only the 3rd hit ends the run. Best scores saved locally.

📧 Lead magnet (email capture)

After a run, an optional card invites the player to leave their email for GEO tips + new levels, and links to a free 60-second AI-visibility check at ozvor.com. Submissions go to Netlify Forms (form name leads) — no backend, no API keys. Each lead includes the ai-visibility score and engine-reached. Find them in Netlify → Forms → leads.

The capture only works once deployed to Netlify; locally it fails silently and the game continues.

▶️ Run / deploy

• Local: open index.html in any modern browser.
• Netlify (drag & drop): drop this folder onto Netlify — the form is detected automatically.
• Netlify (Git): netlify.toml publishes the repo root, no build step.

🎨 Brand

Built on the Ozvor brand system — colors (#27c98a green, #5fdfa8 mint, #e6a93f gold on #0a0f0d), the orbit logo mark, and the Schibsted Grotesk / JetBrains Mono type. The retro game text uses Press Start 2P for the 8-bit feel.

🔧 Customize

• CONFIG — physics (gravity, jump, buffer, coyote).
• PHASES — the 5 engines: difficulty, accent color, bot chassis, penalties, pickups, boss lines.
