If you browsed the internet about a quarter of a century ago, you might remember this game. I have no idea who the original author is, but it is possibly one of the first JavaScript games that went viral. At that time, there were no social networks, so "going viral" actually meant being shared via email. Now it sounds so stone age, but it actually worked quite well.
Way back in 2010, I "ported" the game to Android and published it (it was my fourth Android app), and since then I have pretty much forgotten about it. It was yet another financial hit of mine - the banner ad earned me a total of $22.43 USD over those 15 years. You can't imagine how I spoiled myself with that money.
Recently, Google Play reminded me that I should update the game if I want to keep it in the store (why not?!), and it was also time for me to open-source it. (I have decided to clean up my old self-hosted source code versioning systems and eventually open-source everything I've written.)
So here is the game for you geezers to indulge your nostalgia. You can grab it from Google Play (the version with ads) or from GitHub (ad-free version, supporting old devices from 2012 running Android 4.0.4).
Try to beat my score!
