Happy Room

🧪 Happy Room: A Physics Engine Stress Test

Happy Room presents itself as a scientific laboratory simulator, though its core loop is centered on the chaotic destruction of test dummies. It is essentially a "Reverse Tower Defense" or a sandbox puzzle game where the objective is not to protect a base, but to inflict maximum kinetic damage on a target using a variety of engineered traps.

This title is highly regarded in the gaming community for its robust Ragdoll Physics Engine. Every impact, explosion, and projectile collision is calculated in real-time, resulting in procedural animations that demonstrate momentum, inertia, and gravity. It serves as an engaging way to understand chain reactions and engineering efficiency in a digitized environment.

⚙️ The Arsenal: Engineering Chaos

The game divides its toolkit into categories, encouraging players to experiment with combinations (Combos):

• Floor Traps: Mines, spikes, and bounce pads. These are used to launch the dummy into the air, initiating the combo chain.
• Wall Mounts: Saws and lasers. These act as "damage zones." The strategy lies in keeping the dummy suspended in these zones for as long as possible.
• Ceiling Hazards: Dropping anvils or hanging hooks. These utilize gravity to add downward force, often used to slam the target back into floor traps.

📈 Strategic Objectives & Progression

Unlike aimless sandboxes, Happy Room provides structured goals that require logical thinking:

• Damage Thresholds: Specific challenges require dealing X amount of damage in a single run. This forces the player to optimize their trap layout for synergy rather than random placement.
• The Sandbox Mode: Unlocked later, this removes budget constraints, allowing for infinite stress testing of the browser's WebGL particle rendering capabilities.
• Upgrades: Earning currency allows you to upgrade trap parameters—increasing the blast radius of mines or the rotation speed of saws.

🎮 The Loop: Place, Test, Refine

The gameplay loop mimics the engineering design process:

1. Hypothesis: You place a spring board aiming at a wall of spikes.
2. Test: You release the dummy.
3. Observation: The dummy misses the spikes and hits the ceiling.
4. Refine: You adjust the angle of the board or add a ceiling laser to catch the overshoot.
