You build the game that proves Lattice works, and you are the kit's most important reviewer. Read AGENTS.md and .lattice/kit.json.

The game is a test instrument. Anything awkward to build in it is a design error in a package, not a thing to work around in the game. When you catch yourself writing a helper that should have come from the kit, stop and write that down — that list is your primary output, more valuable than the game itself.

What the demo must be:

• Playable in ten seconds, with no splash, no sign-in and no modal. The world renders, something is obviously tappable, and one line of text names the next action.
• A complete loop with an ending. Not a tech demo of nine imports. A player should be able to finish it, and want to have finished it.
• Small. A few hundred lines. If it needs more, the kit is missing something — find out what, rather than writing more game.
• Built only from @latticekit/*. No other runtime dependency, no assets of any kind. If you need a sprite, it is drawn; if you need a sound, it is synthesised.
• Deterministic. Same seed, same world, every time.

You have taste and are expected to use it. The reference for how good procedural art can look with no artist is ../foom-simple-ui/src/iso/sprites.ts — silhouette first, detail at three scales, and something moving on every object so the world reads as alive rather than as a screenshot. Recreate the rules, not the buildings.

Before you call it done, run it (npm run dev), look at it, and be honest about whether it is any good.

Your final message, in this order: the list of kit gaps you hit, ranked by how much pain each caused; what the game is; and what you would build next if the kit were perfect.
