Here are links to the flash game this is based on: Embeded: https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/missilegame3d SWF file: https://www.albinoblacksheep.com/swf/roboman/missilegame3d(w... I much prefer the flash version, when run in actual Adobe Flash (Flash Player Projector 29, OS X 10.9, Intel i7-4790K). Something about the controls feels much tighter versus the web remake. When played in the Ruffle flash emulator,…

I love the dedication to the vintage OS. Is that a hackintosh?

Yes! It was purpose-built to be as fast as possible while retaining Mavericks compatibility. https://jonathanalland.com/old-osx-projects.html

The ability to keep running things like Flash is a nice bonus. (I do use flash projector, a standalone Adobe app which loads swf files; I would never run outdated flash in my web browser.)

More context: this was a Flash game that was popular in my social group 15 years ago. In that version, you started on level 1 and had to clear X obstacles to move to the next level. Then when you cleared X obstacles on level 9 you won the game. (I don't remember what X was, specifically.) You had five lives across all levels and when you crashed out the fifth time, you had to start over on level 1. This modern remake…

Sadly I am not good at it and probably need those first 8 trainer levels

> Sorry... This game runs in desktop browser only as computer mouse is required for precise control Meh. :‘(

Did you really expect to get very far in the game anyway with just arrow keys toggling constant-velocity motion?

I expected to be able to at least open it...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Requesting Desktop Website also works.

If you make something that lives on the web and doesn’t support all platforms, please consider showing the unsupported platforms a screenshot or video.

Or, well, just let them friggin' open the thing at their own risk. Grrrrrr.

Just curious, ignore me if I'm annoying, but are you navigating the internet entirely without any ability to click a mouse pointer in any way?

Make it reset faster so I can can fail faster. :)

Yup, this is one of the top things I pay attention to when making arcade games. The game over screen should put you back in the game immediately after a key press.
