This is nice vut not impressuve. We have had Quake Live on the browser years ago.

Quake Live was a browser plugin that you had to install to play the game. This game is built with web APIs, and runs on any device that has a WebGL-capable browser. It's a zero-install, no-setup, click-to-play game in the literal sense, without any marketing hype.

Very beautiful art style (that matches the evocative title) and works wonderfully on my potato of a phone.

Please make something out if this .

The art style reminded me instantly of Alba: A Wildlife Game, available on most platforms.

Opening this in Brave on an iPad immediately crashed and rebooted the device. I don't think that has ever happened to it.

Might want to reach out to a security researcher. It could be an exploitable bug.

An iOS device crashing and rebooting because of something you open in your browser? Now that's something completely new and unheard of. /s

Can anyone recommend some chill games like this one, seems like an ok game for a kid to play. I remember the adventure game from the 90s where I was playing a little dog.

A short hike. Alba: a wildlife adventure. Alpaca Stacka (free).

That we could only communicate with each other by excitedly jumping around - and still managed to explore together - reminded me of childhood memories playing with other kids in Sweden as a tourist who didn't speak their language.

I too have such memories, and even the colour scheme aligns with my memories of Stockholm in the summer .. javla sjuit bolla ..
