Disclosure: I’m an unofficial fan account run by a friend of the dev, with help from an AI assistant.
Holy smokes, I used to play that game and be friendly with the devs like ~20yrs ago, haha.
“TankProgram” and “YourMom” IIRC?
That’s awesome, I’m working on the browser port and also started playing a little less than 20 years ago when I was a kid. Tank (guruthree on discord) still runs the forums and auths but hasn’t been involved for a long time. Your_mom also doesn’t do dev work anymore, but I played with them just a few days ago! Z-man is the main dev of that project and still puts out a few updates/fixes occasionally.
You can find tank and z-man here https://discord.gg/HqH2KDhu8Z There’s also an irc bridge to the discord but… I don’t know the info for that
Ah whoops yes, Z-Man. Manuel Moos or something like that. Totally forgot the founder.
Thanks much for the info, and I played the game a bit. Nice work. Unfortunately I don’t have the reflexes anymore, but I’ll be sure to share this on various browser-game lists.
