This is the first thing I thought of when I clicked on the post. Great memories!

I'm not sure that it can work anymore outside of its own web page ("works best in chrome or firefox 4") but you must check Katamari! at http://kathack.com/

Edit: I managed to post this comment, went back to the Katameri page, played a little more with it and my Firefox crashed. It didn't use to.
The linked project "Destroy any website" makes it's own distinct creative and gameplay choices. It may have been inspired by Page Rage or it may have been a case of "multiple discovery". Either way, "Destroy any website" is not a low quality slop clone, it's clearly had a lot of thought put into it

Back in my day it was just stray dogs leisurely destroying my lowly desktop [0], oh how technology has complicated things.
hey, maker here. I have no idea of this one, looks pretty cool! I've rolled out my stickman game here with deep care on everything, from DO multiplayer setup, to game-feel.

Seems a little suspect that you didn't know about the other one given how similar the game mechanics work, down to the jetpack to fly around.
It is possible to both make a copy of something, and also do it with deep care and add more features, no?

We shouldn't be surprised when this sort of thing happens in the age of LLMs.
All LLMs do is select the next word based on their training data then repeat.
When people rely on vibecoding, a non-zero fraction of users will inevitably end up with the same results.

If anything, Spritefusion seems to be higher quality, especially when destroying text.

For me, on librewolf, the entire opposite is true. Spritefusion looks like an extemely buggy thingy while PageRage works incredibly well

Lots of new accounts (created a few hours ago) are posing comments lie "Great fun" or stuff like that. Are these bots?

Probably, since this entire thing is an ad for the AI pixel art product

Interestingly it considers my long monitor to be a mobile. Quite peculiar how resolution was used to identify phones here.

Really guys? Detecting a desktop web browser as a "mobile phone" just because the window is sized to be taller than it is wide? Then refusing to let you use the website?

You should be able to destroy your own website :).

Oh this is lovely. I started doing something similar, but I was generating the stage based on the DOM and some CSS features, but kept getting weird boundaries (read: the character would float on unseen edges)
I later thought about using an edge-detection algorithm to capture the page as an image (triggered on page events), but never fully implemented it and shelved the project.
I would love to know how you captured the visible edges

This was surely fun, never played such a game before. Is it competitive when we are playing the multiplayer mode?

Remembers me of PageRage, the latter works much better on firefox and is an extension

Flame throws, ants eating the screen, etc. Good times. Simpler times...
