Page up / Page Down are next or previous level (if already unlocked).\n\nCheats: Z toggles zapper, M toggles magnets.\n\nDebug stuff: I, P, E keys are toggles for various stuff (E lets you change some aspects of physics engine).\n\nGame is maybe playable on mobile devices, there is a menu on top right, and then click the circle to select type of control.\n\nPhysical engine is decoupled from refresh rate and runs at 240 Hz.\n\nFully vibe coded (deepseek, chatgpt), levels are human made with some amount of love.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49123821](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49123821)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-little-physical-breakout-clone", "canonical_source": "https://brontosaurusrex.github.io/physical/v7/", "published_at": "2026-07-31 14:43:13+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-31 14:52:18.517609+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools"], "entities": ["DeepSeek", "ChatGPT", "Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-little-physical-breakout-clone", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-little-physical-breakout-clone.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-little-physical-breakout-clone.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-a-little-physical-breakout-clone.jsonld"}}
