What a throwback to the late 90s, early 2000s. There were a handful of games like this that let you shoot or shatter your screen.

For us Windows XP users, I found an old video of what I used similar to this. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qMpLIcSbPFY

Flame throws, ants eating the screen, etc. Good times. Simpler times...

I am the creator of Page Rage (https://page-rage.com/), which I released about two weeks ago. Page Rage didn't get too much traction on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49746963), but it did end up being a top post on r/webdev (https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1whepc7/page_rage_d...) and r/playmygame (https://www.reddit.com/r/playmygame/comments/1whfp3g/my_firs...)

The linked project "Destroy any website" makes it's own distinct creative and gameplay choices. It may have been inspired by Page Rage or it may have been a case of "multiple discovery". Either way, "Destroy any website" is not a low quality slop clone, it's clearly had a lot of thought put into it

Looks like a vibe-coded clone of a project posted about 2 weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49719443

Lots of new accounts (created a few hours ago) are posing comments lie "Great fun" or stuff like that. Are these bots?

This is one of my favorite things I've ever stumbled across on HN

Really guys? Detecting a desktop web browser as a "mobile phone" just because the window is sized to be taller than it is wide? Then refusing to let you use the website?

Oh this is lovely. I started doing something similar, but I was generating the stage based on the DOM and some CSS features, but kept getting weird boundaries (read: the character would float on unseen edges)

I later thought about using an edge-detection algorithm to capture the page as an image (triggered on page events), but never fully implemented it and shelved the project.

I would love to know how you captured the visible edges

This was surely fun, never played such a game before. Is it competitive when we are playing the multiplayer mode?

Remembers me of PageRage, the latter works much better on firefox and is an extension
