Pithu | HTML5 Seven Stones Game
Pithu | HTML5 Seven Stones Game brings the beloved South Asian street game to the browser with real physics. Pull back and let go to launch a rubber ball at a stacked pile of stones — knock enough of them down, then race in to stack the pile back up before the other kids peg you out. Dodge or duck incoming throws, land perfect stacks for bonus points, and shout PITHU when you rebuild the pile completely.
Key Features:
Authentic two-phase gameplay — slingshot throwing physics, then real-time stacking and dodging
4 nostalgic hand-illustrated scenes (street, school ground, rooftop sunset, night fair) across 40 rounds
Genuine Matter.js physics — every throw, topple, and stack behaves naturally, not scripted
Perfect/OK stacking windows with a wobble meter for real stacking tension
Dodge-or-duck defense — telegraphed throws with warning marks give players a real reaction window
Score-based 3-star rating combining stones knocked, stacking accuracy, time, and hearts remaining
Built-in sound effects (Web Audio API — no audio files needed)
Fully responsive — one layout engine scales from small phones to 4K/ultrawide, portrait or landscape
Zero external CDN dependencies — 100% self-hosted, works fully offline
Easy to customize — retheme colors, swap scenes, tune physics/difficulty, edit rounds
Clean, well-commented vanilla JavaScript — no frameworks beyond a bundled MIT-licensed physics engine
