Wreck Hacker News
DOMolition turns the Hacker News website at news.ycombinator.com into a free browser game. The page becomes a destructible pixel-art level you can collapse, brick-break or defend against its own trackers, in nine arcade modes. No download, no sign-up, and nothing on the real site is touched.
“Hacker News”
🪦 R.I.P. news.ycombinator.com, 2026. It was light, fast and honest. It never stood a chance. Its footer links still lead nowhere.WRECK IT NOW
NINE WAYS TO WRECK HACKER NEWS
Pull the plug. Watch the page collapse into a heap.
Brick-breaker. Text cracks, images resist, links drop power-ups.
A sticky glob that grows from letters to words to images to the navbar. 2 minutes.
Eat paragraphs. Grow from Kilobyte to Terabyte. Buttons shoot back; popups are bosses.
Two URLs. Two fortresses. One survives. Artillery with wind, vs CPU or a friend.
Tower defense. Bugs (and the page's own trackers) march from header to footer. Text blocks become turrets.
A boss rush through cookie walls. Fleeing buttons, self-flipping toggles, 800 partners. Reject them all, fast.
Football up the page. Swipe to curl the ball through the text, past the CTA keeper, into the logo.
Fly a lander from the footer to orbit. Land on the site's buttons to refuel; the exhaust burns the page.
