Can someone explain the appeal of the game? Seems like a pretty basic air shooter, not sure why it became a cult classic.

- gadgetoid 7y agoEasy to learn, hard to master, as simple as opening a browser tab to get it up and running. It was a perfect storm of tight gameplay and low barrier to entry. I also suspect many people hadn’t come across a game like this before- I can’t even name a multiplayer top down shooter like this save for Continuum.
- molmalo 7y agoI guess for many of the players of old, it was because of the community, that was comprised mainly of HN folks. So, the chat was very nice and interesting.
- Supermancho 7y agoAlso, a game that's basically 2.5 years old "refusing to die" is not particularly interesting. Games wax and wane for years before becoming mainstream or dying off.
