Someone needs to make a list of all of these one-line text games. Here goes:<p>ABaroids: <a href="http://www.thegillowfamily.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thegillowfamily.co.uk/</a><p>Blob jump¹²: <a href="https://gist.github.com/bsawyer/bc0cb3ec3a86b29e76a23104fc44f6d1" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/bsawyer/bc0cb3ec3a86b29e76a23104fc44...</a><p>Glutton C¹: <a href="https://gluttonc.chesterdoran.com/" rel="nofollow">https://gluttonc.chesterdoran.com/</a><p>Bonus: Defender of the Favicon³: <a href="http://www.p01.org/defender_of_the_favicon/" rel="nofollow">http://www.p01.org/defender_of_the_favicon/</a><p>[1]: Available as a bookmarklet!

Reminds me a bit of Defender of the Favicon: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19262529" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19262529</a><p>Really clever concept, and I like the ease of building levels for it.
I just released TitleRun on ProductHunt. Let me know what you think! (and go easy on me, it's the first game that I developed)<p>Feel free to share or upvote if you like it! <a href="https://www.producthunt.com/posts/titlerun" rel="nofollow">https://www.producthunt.com/posts/titlerun</a>
I loaded it up and it was in a tiny tab. I played and won on my first try.<p>Then I expanded the title bar so I could see the whole level at once. Now I can't win.<p>For some reason being able to only see the next box in the tiny tab makes it way easier for me!<p>Cool game, I kind of want to steal this for my webpage, but at least on my system, it spikes the CPU, so maybe not.
Reminds me of the great Line Wobbler game: <a href="https://wobblylabs.com/projects/wobbler" rel="nofollow">https://wobblylabs.com/projects/wobbler</a><p>Still need to make one of these using the Twang code <a href="https://github.com/Critters/TWANG" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Critters/TWANG</a>
This is super cool! With fast games like this it's often nice to be able to start playing again quickly - maybe consider making space restart the game instantly rather than having to press R and wait for the page to reload.
I want this but in an Xterm.<p><a href="https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html" rel="nofollow">https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html</a>
Lol - didn't think it would work in firefox on android, but it does - kudos!<p>This takes me back, as the gameplay is almost exactly the same as the game for the Psion Organiser II (which had a 2 line screen) which you had to laboriously key in from the back of the manual. Except in that one, IIRC (err, 30 years ago) you could choose when to move back from the top line, and the missiles gradually came faster and faster.
The animation seems jerky in the sense that the character seems to skip past obstacles. There's never a frame where it's vertically aligned.<p>For an obstacle positioned at 0, it appears to jump like this.<p>[... -2, -1, 1, 2, ....]
Has this been shared already?<p><a href="http://www.thegillowfamily.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thegillowfamily.co.uk/</a>
