Build a HTML5 game like Geometry Dash using Phaser 4 and TypeScript, with a simple custom physics engine
The cube in Geometry Dash always lands perfectly square. It's not rigid-body physics: the spin is purely cosmetic. The hitbox never rotates, and the game snaps the angle to 90 degrees on landing. I rebuilt it as an HTML5 game in Phaser 4 + TypeScript, with my own physics engine.

Simulating rotating gravity and perimeter based movement like in “Be Brave, Barb” game with Phaser, without any physics engine
HTML5 platformer engine inspired by Be Brave, Barb, built without physics. Hero walks along a dynamically generated perimeter, switches between four gravity directions, and reattaches to surfaces using continuous collision detection. Everything is driven by pure geometry, vector math, and segment intersection.

HTML5 prototype of a planet gravity platform using Phaser 4 and Arcade physics, written in TypeScript
A gravity-rotating movement system built with Phaser 4 and TypeScript, where a character walks around floating terrain by dynamically reassigning gravity instead of falling off edges. Movement and jumping are defined in surface space rather than world space, allowing seamless transitions around corners while keeping Arcade Physics fully in control.
