Is it possible to use arcade and matter physics simultaneously? I would like to give the obstacle a triangular hitbox. I don’t think I have to rewrite the whole game on Matter?

It is, but you wouldn’t be able to make bodies from one interact with bodies from the other.

It is possible to do some simple hit detection by using a Geom shape with Arcade Physics, though.
