Back in the 90s, it was a game as Java applet. But then somebody removed all those nice plugins. I ported it a while back to C#, made it into desktop (Gtk, WinForms etc), but now finally, it returns - with WebAssembly - back into the browser, where this originally "remastered from DOS" game began 😀

Omg I played so much Digger as a kid. When we got a new computer I had to turn off Turbo to play it.

I've not played this before. It looks a bit like Mr. Do!

They actually remastered this game for the Playstation 3! I couldn't believe it! I STILL can't believe it!

My mum still plays this daily. Had done for years. So can't get beyond level 6 though 🤣

that's so cool! I honestly never thought about using Skia to render a game, but it seems like a good option especially when it's simple 2D graphics that's being deployed on the web as well.
