I recently prototyped a web game for a nonprofit to highlight the dangers of phone addiction, but unfortunately I ended up making a really addictive game instead. :-\

I'm sharing this here mainly to serve as an indicator of what can be achieved early-2026 by a senior dev working with Opus 4.7 over 2 days using genuinely collaborative prompting. (ie plan->feedback->iterate)

Hope it provides some inspiration or entertainment - there's a level editor too - maybe Hacker Newsers could share their favourite creations here?

PS: If there's enough demand I'm happy to Open Source this (or DM me) - it's mainly just time restrictions at my end.

This is fun! I just played like 10 levels. How many are there in total?

I could not resist going towards the phone!!

This is awesome! So retro
