How it is built
One index.html file, no build step, no dependencies: Canvas 2D, sound synthesized with Web Audio, progress saved in the browser (localStorage). Only the fonts come from Google Fonts.
To try it locally: open index.html in a browser, or run python3 -m http.server in this folder and go to http://localhost:8000.
To run the tests (Node.js 22 or later; the game itself needs nothing, Playwright is only for the tests):
npm install
npx playwright install chromium # once
npm test # the game loads, and each of the 10 levels starts and runs without an error
Changes are listed in CHANGELOG.md.
