Clunk Bang

A pair of pliers falls in from above and lands on a copper busbar. It clunks, throws sparks, and eventually tumbles off the bottom of the screen with a thud, at which point another pair drops in. Clicking flings the pliers back up so it can happen again. The title screen is honest about the whole thing: this might be loud, there is no goal, have fun.

Why pliers

Dropping a metal tool across live busbars is one of the small, specific fears of working near real electrical gear. Nothing here is at stake, so it becomes a toy instead.

Two counters in the corner tally clunks and bangs. Neither number unlocks anything.

Under the hood

Built with Phaser 3 and the Matter.js physics engine, so the pliers and the busbar have real collision shapes rather than bounding boxes — which is why the tool catches on an edge, spins, and comes to rest at odd angles instead of bouncing predictably.

Each impact triggers a particle burst at the actual contact point, aimed along the collision normal, with the clunk panned to wherever the pliers are on screen and detuned slightly so repeats do not sound identical. A reactor hum runs underneath. There is a mute toggle, and it remembers your answer.
