Show HN: TurnLeft – a one-button stock car racing game in the browser
TurnLeft is a browser-based, one-button stock car racing game built almost entirely with Fable 5, playable as a PWA on mobile.
A developer going by dberube launched TurnLeft, a top-down retro stock car racing game that runs entirely in the browser, according to a Show HN post submitted on August 19, 2026. The game has exactly one control: tap the screen to turn left.
Per the Show HN post, dberube built the project over a few weeks using Fable 5, an AI coding tool. The author notes that 100% of the code was written by Fable 5, with manual tweaks applied only to the graphics. The game is accessible at turnleft.app and can also be saved to a phone's home screen as a Progressive Web App (PWA).
The stated design goal was a game requiring no instructions — something a player can open, run for a few minutes as a time-killer, close, and return to later, the Show HN post explains. The one-button mechanic and top-down retro visual style reflect that minimal-friction intent.
The project appears to be a solo side build rather than a commercial venture, with no funding, team size, or business model mentioned in the source. At the time of submission, the HN post had 2 points and 3 comments.
