Funny Thing is, that my phone has a higher resolution than that. When I switched my phone browser to desktop mode it warned me that the resolution is too high..
That because the measurements used in web browser, "px", doesn't mean "screen pixels".
According to the W3 website :
"The px unit is defined to be small but visible, and such that a horizontal 1px wide line can be displayed with sharp edges (no anti-aliasing). What is sharp, small and visible depends on the device and the way it is used: do you hold it close to your eyes, like a mobile phone, at arms length, like a computer monitor, or somewhere in between, like an e-book reader? The px is thus not defined as a constant length, but as something that depends on the type of device and its typical use."
So a very high definition smartphone can be seen as being less than 800(px)x600(px), depending on its screen size and aspect ratio, while still being 4k or more.
I've spent far more time than I'm willing to admit on this thing. It goes much deeper than I thought at first.
I don't get why this is a free browser game - I wouldn't mind buying it on Steam or GoG. It truly is a wonderful experience, it reminds me of the time when I used to play flash games, but done better.
I also think that it would be cool to see it on Steam someday, but I also think that it's stronger as a browser game. There's just something magical to having such a great, mysterious and immersive experience behind a simple hyperlink

Nice essay comrade, but who tf mentioned px? Might as well write me a thesis on em vs pt

Because everyone (including most devs, myself included until some month ago) think that px = pixels, which is not.
When he says that the minimum is 800x600, it is most likely talking about px and not pixels.
