Tongue Rush is built, verified in a real browser, documented and committed. The working tree is clean and the git bundle is 4.0 MB, under the 8 MiB limit.

What was delivered

• Game (src/, Vite 7 + TypeScript strict + Canvas 2D + Web Audio, zero runtime dependencies). Pepe on a lily pad, bugs on sweep/wave/zigzag/orbit/dive paths generated relative to the tongue's reach so every bug is catchable at any viewport. Flies score, fireflies raise the multiplier to 12x, rainbow bugs start a 7-second slow-motion triple-score Frenzy, wasps cost a life and reset the multiplier, near-misses pay a style bonus, chain catches pay extra, and the multiplier decays slowly when idle. Three lives, endless rounds, difficulty ramps over about three minutes.
• Controls: mouse aim + click/Space, WASD/arrows with smooth turning, touch drag-release or tap with a gentle aim assist, gamepad right stick + A/X/trigger with Start to pause. Esc/P pause, R instant restart, M mute, pause on tab blur.
• Audio: all effects and the chill pentatonic pond loop are synthesized, unlocked on the first gesture, with mute buttons in every panel and the HUD.
• Export in dist/: index.html, pepe-game.json (pepe-browser-game/1), original cover.png 1200×630, favicon.svg, relative URLs only, title/description/og:title/og:image set.
• Docs: README.md (install, preview, rebuild, publish, test notes), DESIGN.md (tokens, type scale, components, responsive rules), artifacts/validation.md plus a committed copy in test/evidence/.

Verification results

The browser run covers 1280, 1024, 390 and 320 widths, every control path, pause/resume with focus handling, game over, restart, mute, reduced motion, and a sandboxed-iframe harness that confirms the init/ready handshake, pause channel filtering, blocked localStorage without errors, and the integer score message.

Most important finding and fix: inside a sandboxed iframe the opaque origin makes module scripts and font loads CORS requests, which a static host without an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header blocks. The export now ships a classic deferred script with no crossorigin attributes and inlines the fonts into the CSS, so it works on any host.

Limitations recorded honestly: Chromium only, emulated touch rather than a physical phone, gamepad reviewed in source only, no screen-reader session, audio confirmed running but not listened to, and contrast computed from tokens over a composited panel colour rather than sampled from the translucent rendered panel. No submission or approval is claimed; the Swarm publishes the hosted site after this build, and the coordinating agent runs the release helper afterwards.

Both servers are stopped, the browser scratch folder is gone, and the only untracked paths are the findings file, the pinned reads and test/scratch, which the daemon removes. The review is complete.

Requirements, one line each

• "Pepe sits on a floating lily pad in the center of the pond": met, drawPads and drawPepe in src/game.ts.
• "Bugs fly across the screen in rhythmic patterns": met, sweep, wave, orbit, zig and dive paths in makeBug.
• "Aim and snap Pepe's tongue": met, aimAt, aimDirection, snap; verified by keyboard, mouse and synthetic touch drag.
• "Golden fireflies give big points and build a high multiplier (up to 12x)": met, firefly 50 points, MAX_MULTIPLIER = 12.
• "Rainbow bugs trigger Frenzy Mode with slow motion and massive score boosts": met, world time 0.45x, score 3x for 7s.
• "Wasps break the multiplier and cost a life if hit": met, hitWasp; verified three hits end the run.
• "Near-misses give style bonuses": met, "Close call" bonus in updateTongue.
• "The difficulty rises smoothly and fairly": met, difficulty() ramps over three minutes.
• "Three lives, endless mode": met.
• "Satisfying sound effects for every snap, catch, combo, and frenzy, plus chill background music": met in src/audio.ts, AudioContext confirmed running after the Start gesture; not listened to.
• "Premium polished cartoon style ... moonlit blue pond with elegant water ripples and particle effects": met on the canvas.
• "Strong juicy visual feedback (screen shake, flashes, colorful combo text)": met, shakeScreen, flashScreen, floating text.
• "Desktop: Mouse to aim + left click to snap (also supports WASD/Arrow keys + Space)": met, verified ArrowLeft plus Space catches a fly.
• "Mobile: Drag to aim, release or tap to snap": met, pointer handlers in src/main.ts; drag-release caught a firefly in my run and in the committed CDP touch test.

• "onboarding, meaningful challenge, pause, game-over and instant replay": met, start, pause and run-over panels.
• "honour reduced-motion preferences": met, game.reducedMotion true under emulation, no CSS animation left running.
