Reminds me of a very stripped down Robotron. Which means I'd better close this tab and never come back lest I lose another three months of my life to this game.
One of my favorites is "The Most Awkward 404 Not Found Page on the Internet"[1]. It's basically just a video of a guy awkwardly holding a one-sided conversation for several minutes.
Pretty slick, but you should set the text non-selectable via CSS so that when you click and drag around to shoot, you don't end up highlighting the 404 text.
The internal dialog went something like this:
"hah, cute."
"hmmm.. how do I move"
"crap I just died."
"oh, I've got extra lives.."
"...and now I'm playing games at work."
I did NOT expect to hear a moldavian song on that.. Funny how the web still has the web to pleasantly surprise you every now and then even after years of navigating it.
I think the page is actually streaming music from somewhere because I sat through two unique songs already. That is actually even cooler if it's streaming!
Edit: It seems I'm wrong, closing the page reopened at the same song as in the beginning. The third song was a Nas rap song (??) when I accidentally closed it. Still, that would be cool.
WASD made me realize how long it's been since I've played any game with that kind of navigation — I'm left handed, but my right hand has totally taken all of my 'arrow key' muscle memory.
