Island Not Found deserves a mention: http://js13kgames.com/entries/island-not-found http://js13kgames.com/entries/island-not-found Gameplay falls a bit short, but in my opinion it's the technically most impressive entry this year.

A group of devs from the demo scene legends Farbrausch made a 3D FPS game in 96KB years ago that was seriously impressive. 3D games with procedural textures and shaders can compress very well indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger (gameplay video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NBG-sKFaB0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NBG-sKFaB0)

  kkrieger is legend ;) I learn so much from the old demo scene techniques I feel they should be a standard part of the curriculum at this point! Previous HN post on "Teach Yourself Demoscene in 14 Days" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21470398 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21470398

    I thought "That sounds really interesting", and then noticed I made the first comment on the story so I've obviously seen that before.

If you don't mind waiting for a loading bar, there's also 404kph[1]. It's technically impressive with decent gameplay (Trackmania clone). [1] https://js13kgames.com/entries/404kph https://js13kgames.com/entries/404kph

  The failure mode on that game in Safari is quite interesting: the front wheels, car body and rear wheels travel at different speeds.

  It looks nice but the very load, stuck audio when loading anything makes it very annoying. I'd advice turning audio down in case it also happens on your platform (Chrome/mac here).

This is absolutely insane. A Myst clone in 13k?! This is by far the most technically impressive entry I've seen, definitely beats the winners, IMHO...

Cool! The control design is very smooth and comfortable.

Interesting that this froze my entire browser for like 10 seconds when I clicked it. Could these technologies (webgl I think?) be used as a venue for a DoS?
