Show HN: No one will beat my hiscore

Git Racer is a simple browser game with two tracks where players must time mouse clicks carefully to achieve a high score. The developer challenges others to try and beat their hiscore.

Background

Git Racer is a minimalist browser game that simulates the experience of "racing" against git commits — players click a mouse button to accelerate and must time their clicks to avoid obstacles or slowdowns, aiming for a high score. The game appears to be a novel, tongue-in-cheek take on the popular "rage game" genre (deliberately difficult, timing-based games like Flappy Bird or Getting Over It). The "Show HN" prefix indicates it was posted on Hacker News, a tech-community news aggregator run by Y Combinator, where users share and discuss projects, startups, and side projects. The claim "no one will beat my hiscore" is a classic competitive provocation common in arcade-style game culture. The "two tracks" reference suggests the game has multiple difficulty or layout variants.
