Awesome! Harder to exit than vim.

how did you exit? because nothing seems to be working.

I pressed Esc key, click quit. And then closed the browser tab.

If this is what CSS has become, it means at some point its development went the wrong way.

The game logic here is running in JS. Only the rendering is handled by HTML and CSS. Is it really wrong that you can do this? All it requires is 3D transformation of elements.

It still needs JS. It just avoids using canvas and does DOM manipulation + CSS instead.

Very cool. I wonder what the limitations are? I see the dog I shot is floating in the air. Is that maybe a CSS thing or is it fixable?

.dog { display: float; }

You win! I laughed way too hard at this. Boss man is now giving me the side eye.

Doesn't work at all for me. I keep jumping around and clipping through objects, can't even leave the first room without being stuck in the doorway to the elevator.

have to shoot the elevator buttons in this, in the original you could move into them.

Amazing and impressive use of CSS. But at the same time, makes me appreciate what feat Carmack achieved 30 years ago on early Pentiums.
