Okay, perhaps I'm out of the loop. Is this created for marketing purposes, technical purposes, or something else? What makes this different from a random Ludum Dare-style submission, other than the Netflix logo?

I don't get it. Who are these characters? What is the background patterned after? I feel like I'm missing an inside joke.

I can only confirm the first two, but they're the stars of their respective Netflix Original Series. The background and enemies are thematic to their shows.

Good lord, y'all are crotchety. This just seems like a fun little time waster that was probably developed internally by a very small group of people. I don't see it as a large marketing push or some kind of fancy technical demo. Just something... fun.

Not sure if it's the browser or the game but sometimes clicks and taps don't register. Love the themes though! One other issue is since you can't seem to jump during a power up if an obstacle comes right as the powerup ends you'll lose with no way to avoid.

Seems like they made the jump on mouseup instead of mousedown, and mouseup needs to be within ~1s of mousedown.

Yeah seems like 'tap' rather than mouseup/mousedown.

They are all Netflix shows.

As others have said. Pablo & Marco Polo. Piper Chapman from Orange is the New Black and Mike Wheeler from Stranger Things. (Won't make sense if you haven't seen the shows)
