Measured entry

8bitcn-game-hero2

heroskeuomorphism

A static retro game hero for showing a level, XP progress, milestone badges, and linked calls to action. It ships as a shadcn registry block with bundled pixel-style wrappers and CSS, and relies on Next.js Link, Tailwind theme utilities, a cn helper, base shadcn badge and button primitives, Radix Progress, and variant helpers.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 1.46s
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-9564d99b0317/src/components/ui/8bit/badge.tsx".

Verdict

A focused, editable hero for gamified progress screens, but it is not install-ready as published. The verified build fails because the bundled retro badge imports a base badge file that the registry does not supply. It needs a shadcn-style setup, and teams seeking a drop-in block should avoid it until that dependency is fixed.

Use it if

  • You are building a game, learning, or achievement page where progress is the main hero message.
  • Your app already uses Next.js and a shadcn-style component structure with Tailwind theme tokens.
  • You want configurable milestone labels, progress, copy, and calls to action without animation.

Skip it if

  • You need a framework-neutral hero or do not want to replace its Next.js Link usage.
  • Your design system does not include the base shadcn badge and button primitives this registry item expects.
  • A remote Google font import conflicts with your privacy, offline, or content-security requirements.
  • You need a verified build as delivered, since the registry package currently fails on its unresolved base badge import.

In a non-shadcn project, add the configured path aliases and cn utility, Tailwind with matching theme tokens, base badge and button primitives, Next.js Link or a router replacement, Radix Progress, the Radix slot package, class-variance-authority, and the supplied retro stylesheet. You must also provide the missing base badge file before the block can build.
