 ## File structure
 - `index.html`: Shell layout and HUD overlays; loads Matter.js plus game scripts.
 - `styles.css`: Styling for canvas, HUD, overlays, and score popups.
-- `scenes/`: Scene presets split per file (`scene-*.js`) plus `index.js` that registers them to `window.PhysilinksScenes`.
+- `scenes/`: Scene presets split per file (`scene-*.js`) plus `index.js` that registers them to `window.PhysilinksScenes` (e.g., zero-G grid, balanced, low-G, fast drop, lava drift).
 - `ui.js`: DOM access, HUD updates, overlays, popups, and control/selector wiring.
 - `main.js`: Physics setup, state machine, chain interaction, spawning, scene application, and pause/restart logic.
