I'm ashamed to admit this was way too addicting. I was supposed to be commenting on meaningful Hacker News posts, but this game completely hooked me.

I loved how you went with the PostHog theme and made everything from the enemies to the story feel like it belongs inside the app ...lol.

What tech stack did you use to build this?

One small piece of feedback: I waited way longer than I needed to for the first boss to appear, and then I literally decimated him instantly. You might want to convey it through some feedback!

Other than that, I loved it and bookmarked it!

Oh I am glad you like it! Noted for the 1st boss, I'll make the button go bigger and bigger over time so are nudged into clicking it. TypeScript + HTML5 for the stack. Vite for the build.
I ended up beating the game haha, wanted an epic dialogue exchange at the end but it wasn't there :_)

Oh and I am really surprised we can build such games in TS and HTML, I thought you're using some game library to achieve all of this!
