Description: Smash article text, collect power-ups, and unlock the next post.

The goal was simple: make visitors explore more articles. During a walk, that turned into an arcade concept. Headlines and paragraphs become bricks. Bounce a ball through the words, clear the page, and unlock the next article. Instead of reading the post, you demolish it.

The next level

Another mode asks players to spot anomalies in nearly identical article pages. Breakout offers multiball power-ups and a new level for every article. Both create a playful reason to continue browsing.

The ad boss

A fictional pop-up monster could serve as a boss. Actual ads must remain separate from game controls and targets, avoiding accidental clicks. Whether genuine browsing increases revenue is something to measure.

Before the walk ends

The creator estimates two or three hours from idea to publication with AI assistance. That's a forecast, not a verified build time. Imagine entering a mall for a walk and leaving with an arcade attached to your website. The trick is making an existing archive generate levels.
