Individuals here on hacker news tend to gravitate towards blog posts about games rather than links to actual games, generally. Not a hard fast rule, but it's what I've observed over the years.
I have had some success on Hacker News with similar games before[1]! But I'll certainly do a proper writeup of the tech behind this one because I think it's pretty neat.
As I get older, I find I'm often more interested in reading about things than trying the thing myself. I often go straight to the comments about articles rather than even reading them.
