Show HN: Neil the Seal Game (neiltheseal.app)

Fun game! One quick piece of UX feedback: when adjusting the direction, the entire screen rotates along with it, which makes me feel a bit dizzy. It might be helpful to have an option to lock the screen orientation or smooth out the rotation. Great work overall!

This is pretty hilarious. :D Feels like a combination of Untitled Goose Game and Goat Simulator. Vibe-coded? It's pretty impressive.

I can't blow up the servo, even though I've totally wrecked it.

I love the voice lines

Sound isn't working in Firefox on Linux, but otherwise very fun. The only thing it's missing are Neil's favorite traffic cones ;)

Also glad that Neil is getting the protection he needs (and the public as well) despite the media attention.

haha this is cool :) What made you choose to code this as a webgame? In either case, good idea much easier to share

My preschooler loves the Untitled Goose Game, please vibe-port this to the Switch (:

Brilliant, I love Neil, great idea to immortalize him.

Cute! But the car challenges in Tier 8 feel undoable -- they're a bear to "steer" and can't seem to go more than a short distance before bursting into flames.

i love this. i don’t understand why web games like this aren’t more prevalent

Cute but your volume and camera buttons don’t work at all

Combines my 2 favourite things, cutely annoying animals, and destroying tasmania.

Cars are driving on the wrong side of the road - presumably in terror of His Neilness!

Lol definitely a cute game. Good job

i regret to inform you that we drive on the left in australia

Missing bollards.

Great work! I had some rendering issues with some part of the houses' roofs not showing

I can tell this is at least partially vibe coded... Out of curiosity, how much did you use AI for this?

I wanted to like it but found it immediately frustrating on mobile:

* The joystick is too sensitive, so it’s hard to keep a straight line, wobbling everywhere instead. The camera makes it worse. I felt that if I kept going I might get motion sickness.

* Despite moving both cars out of the way and getting through, it always marked just one. Took me three resets and had to move Neil back to properly push them and get that done.

* I have played other browser 3D games on mobile but this was the fastest my phone has ever heat up. I didn’t even know it could become this hot this fast, to the point it’s uncomfortable to hold.

Well I was deemed to have pushed 1 car. Pushing them slamming 5 more didn't get me past the first level.

You inspired me to make one for kids to create in Scratch

On my desktop, On Firefox, I just got a uniform blue screen. On Chrome, I could turn left or right, but that was all. The W, S, and C keys didn't work.

I think I saw Jesus, because a guy ran right across the surface of a swimming pool.

This is great! Whats the tech stack?

I started thumping cars but then got into an infinite spiral I couldn’t get out of.

Cool game! Reminds me of the untitled Goose Game, bullying citizens, is that a genre? It should definitely be a genre.
