Show HN: A little physical breakout clone

A developer released a browser-based breakout clone designed for five-minute play sessions, featuring mouse or keyboard controls, cheats, and a physics engine decoupled from refresh rate running at 240 Hz. The game was fully vibe coded using DeepSeek and ChatGPT, with human-made levels, and is accessible via a Hacker News post.

Idea: How about a 5 minute game I can play in my browser and it's actually fun to play.

Controls: Mouse or keyboard (left/right, left alt/right alt or A/D), space and esc are toggle. Page up / Page Down are next or previous level (if already unlocked).

Cheats: Z toggles zapper, M toggles magnets.

Debug stuff: I, P, E keys are toggles for various stuff (E lets you change some aspects of physics engine).

Game is maybe playable on mobile devices, there is a menu on top right, and then click the circle to select type of control.

Physical engine is decoupled from refresh rate and runs at 240 Hz.

Fully vibe coded (deepseek, chatgpt), levels are human made with some amount of love.
