I navigated using touch on my iPhone and it felt a lot like playing Genshin Impact

Safari highlighted something and it highlighted the whole screen and I couldnt get it to unselect

That’s a classic issue with these, and often not solvable by the web developer - an issue with mobile browsers themselves that’s hard to get around

It's trivially solvable with CSS though, isn't it? See the beginning of this stylesheet for example: https://github.com/mvasilkov/board2024/blob/master/out/app.c... — this is from my small 2024 game.

This is amazing; now when is building this kind of thing going to become more accessible so we can start seeing a lot more of it? Webassembly has been around for years now but we still don't really see many companies compiling games or game-lite experiences to WASM. The tooling doesn't seem to be there which is the necessary prerequisite that could make building experiences like this actually feasible for most devs. Is that coming, ever?

Does not work on Chrome, and actually freezes the tab

It was very laggy for me in Firefox on Windows, but played smoothly in Chrome.

It worked surprisingly well on ddg browser, iOS, iPhone mini 12. So, impressive!

All browsers on iOS are (still, though sadly not for long…) the same browser. Only the skin changes.

Luckily not for long you mean?

I for one am looking forward to full-on Firefox with extensions etc.

This got me thinking: Rewind 25 years, I can easily imagine 15 year-old me sinking DOZENS of hours into playing this "game". I remember I put much more time than that into a free game that came in a box of cereal[0]. Today, I loaded the site up and spend about 30 seconds on it before deciding "this is cool!" and moving on, probably never to return. What changed? I guess it's a mix of: (A) How I value my time. (B) The…

It's called growing up

I dunno. I see many “grown ups” replacing video game time with just more time scrolling on their phones, or maybe on the TV watching YouTube or some streaming service.

I think playing (some) video games can be a bit better for your brain vs. the above alternatives. At least many of them require thought and/or coordination.

Again, there are exceptions, where they’re not much better than doom scrolling. But it’s not hard to find some that require some effort and thought.

You can already have Firefox extensions on iOS with Orion.

Why is that sad?

Because Apple's walled garden is for your own good, Citizen.

When it avoids a chrome (and thus google) monopoly: yes. And don’t talk to me about Firefox engine. Its market share is negligible and the whole thing only even still exists because google allows it.
