2020 Game
- leowoo91 6y agoNext level: vaccines
- Zealotux 6y agoFun little game, unfortunately crashed for me after the vaccine part, maybe that's a sign?
- tugberkk 6y agoHad the exact experience. Was great while it lasted :)
- emilfihlman 6y agoGets stuck immediately when the 2019 text appears
- wenderen 6y agoSame here. This was on the second load. On the first load, I just saw a blue screen. Seeing lots of 503 errors in the console.
- nudpiedo 6y agoseems that someonw had fun learning haxeflixel. Title should be changed to "Show HN" probably as it brings nothing to HN apart of showing.
- bovermyer 6y agoMany of the comments above yours appear to disagree.
- gus_massa 6y agoI'm not an expert, but I agree that this is probably not cutting edge technology. But the theme is original and the graphics cue and that makes it interesting. (If you know how to use haxeflixel you can write a few demos / blog post about it. If they are interesting you can get a few upvotes here.) The "Show HN" must only be used when the author is the submitter. I checked the names, but I didn't do a full internet search to verify their identities. They look like different persons. (Sometimes the author appear later after noticing the traffic peak.) Games are not the main topic here, but if the game has some tweak that makes it interesting it may get traction here. From the guidelines: > anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity It's not very specific, but it is not very specific on purpose.
- fileeditview 6y agoNot that relevant but it seems to be a game made with Phaser not HaxeFlixel.
- cableshaft 6y agoYeah, my 503 errors clearly say Phaser. Actually makes me a little worried about the Phaser game I'm working on, if this could happen to it.
- fileeditview 6y agoI don't think these are related to Phaser but indicate too much stress on the server. 503 is service unavailable and probably caused by being on HN frontpage.
- bbotond 6y agoCrashes after the loading indicator, the console is full of 503 errors (Chromium on Linux).
- victords 6y agoWorked until the end for me. Nice little retrospective game.
- mrkeen 6y agoBlue screen.

- spzb 6y agoSame. Maybe it's a feature of 2020
- 6y ago
- Mil0dV 6y agoCould play to the end in Firefox without issues. (Well, can't close the info screen after opening it, only way I could get rid of it was reloading the page which resets progress. Other than that worked fine)
- wave100 6y agoHad to reload it a couple times to get it to work - seems like it might be getting hugged to death, and for good reason!
- gus_massa 6y agoI agree. A few times an image didn't load, and it was replaced by a small square. The problem is that it was an object and I had to jump over that object, but the small square was too small and I couldn't jump. It solved after reloading, but I had to restart from the beginning. (Fun small game. It's worth reloading a few times to try it.)
- moosebear847 6y agoThe 503s are a part of the game, similar to when you try to go to your favorite spots but they're closed because of covid.
- tgtweak 6y agoPutting 503 as the intro screen really ups the difficulty.
- app4soft 6y ago> The 503s are a part of the game Much worse, this site seems like from Russia & probably is unsafe to visit, as there is Yandex[0] counter[1] bundled: > ... Yandex and the FSB had reached an agreement where the company would provide the required data without handing over the encryption keys. According this, Yandex is under control of Russia's FSB (ex-USSR's KGB).[2] P.S. Just flagged this HN topic due to security reasons. Such links should not be on Hacker News front page...

- germanier 6y agoBy that argument most links should be removed from the frontage since we learned of PRISM.
- app4soft 6y ago> since we learned of PRISM Lets not speculate there. I provided proof screenshot and you may check it itself (BUT keep uMatrix & uBlock Origin turned ON!) that there is Yandex counter bundled on "2020 Game" site. Any proofs that "2020 Game" site has something from PRISM?
- germanier 6y agoNo. But every second site linked here has Google Analytics embedded which is a product for the same purpose and for which equivalent evidence exists as you have presented. I'm not saying Google Analytics does anything nefarious but neither have you shown any evidence that Yandex Counter does.
- grillorafael 6y agoThat is pretty cool
- zuhayeer 6y agoThis is so creative, love the attention to detail throughout the whole game. The toilet paper depleting while quarantining was my favorite part. You can donate to the creator of the game here: https://donorbox.org/2020-game https://donorbox.org/2020-game It took him 6 months!
- dom96 6y agowow, nearly $7k. Amazing how much a simple but topical game can gather in popularity and funds.
- vortico 6y agoThat's nothing for a game like this, taking 6 months.
- skolsuper 6y agoIt's a LOT from a donate button. Donate buttons generate barely any revenue at all, generally speaking. This game must have either got lucky with the crowd that's playing it, or has literally millions of players already.
- vortico 6y agoOh sure, for donations that's a lot. A good rule of thumb is asking for donations returns 1-10% compared to selling software for a fixed price. So the game perhaps could have brought $70-700k. Highly dependent on the type of software industry though.
- pedro596 6y agoIn that specific part did you saw, in the end, some books going away too? Very good indeed :-)
- nergal 6y agoReally nice and good looking game. But I have a lot of issues loading resources in Firefox on Linux, 5 retries to make it load. Once loaded, it looks awesome. Great work to whoever did this!
- mstade 6y agoTried to load it a bunch of times, finally managed to get it all on the fifth reload or something. Played it. Loved it. Donated beer money at the end. Love the style and effort put in to this, very creative! The saving of the koala bear was poignant, and I lost it at the toilet paper references – hilarious! I hope the author is energized and gets enough money through donations to spend a bit more time on filling this out with even more detail.
- idkwhoiam 6y agoI haven't laughed this hard in a while. Thank you!
- vincnetas 6y agoAnyone having problem launching this on Safari? Just blue screen and errors in console...
- Prcmaker 6y agoSame result using chrome on Android. A couple refresh cycles got it there.
- utf_8x 6y agoAaaaand another site hugged to death by HN :)
- dom96 6y agoFroze for me after saving the Koala :/
- SummerlyMars 6y agoSame for me, on Firefox 84. Looking at the console, it seems to be coming from the Phaser audio library ('t is undefined', stack trace to a minified file).
- dstick 6y agot is undefined has been the bane in my work Sentries (error log) in 2020 as well, so it's eerily accurate.
- rednum 6y agoSidenote: I really like how this stops playing sounds when I change the tabs. It'd be nice to have browser setting that does it.
- mclightning 6y agoCrashed a few times, like the actual 2020
- Yuioup 6y ago"Best played on desktop" "Please rotate your device" Which is it?
- mstade 6y agoThey aren't mutually exclusive, are they? It doesn't say only plays on desktop, just that the best experience is on desktop. For what it's worth, it played just fine on my phone, once fully loaded.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- NikolaNovak 6y agoHmmm; I've started it on PC and it says "Please rotate your device" and it won't let me continue :-/ ... I know I'm in a minority for not looking at the world through 2" stamp, but still :-P Edit: Few F5's brought it up... interesting failure mode I suppose! Edit2: OK, I suppose this counts as political, but I feel for historical accuracy and in the spirit of the game, both Trump & Biden should've raised their hands in victory after passing the flag :-D
- wrboyce 6y agoThe music is nice, but I can’t get past the second tree before everything freezes and becomes unresponsive. Tried on my desktop (Mac Pro, Safari/Brave) and mobile (iPhone, MobileSafari), both are freezing up in the same place. EDIT: I made it to the start of 2020! I’ll be revisiting this later when it is hopefully not struggling under load so much, seems promising and well made.
- wrboyce 6y agoUpdate: I completed it, and it is beautifully put together. Hats off to the dev.
- dynamite-ready 6y agoA few bugs, but I like the humour. The Tik Tok bit was funny.
- hfkldjsjfkdj 6y agoThe worst part about Covid isn't the virus itself but the stupidity that surrounds it.
- humanrebar 6y agoThe death and illness is pretty bad.
- hfkldjsjfkdj 6y agoSo much so that we can make jokes about the virus while a pandemic is still ongoing.
- Mary-Jane 6y agoThis is a great post. Not the text of course, but it's implications. See, the people you think are stupid actually agree with you on this point -- and very likely see you as stupid. Statically, both of you rarely engage the other, but when you do it's to belittle, not to engage and learn. ...and who can blame you - you both think the other is a moron! 2020 saw unprecedented partisanship; if we all continue to insult and dismiss each other, what does the future hold? Unless we can learn to look past our biases and see each other as human beings, it won't be pretty.
- hfkldjsjfkdj 6y agoYou are attempting to lecture me about something I am very much aware of.
- Mary-Jane 6y agoThat's makes no sense... Why do you do it? Are you trying to speed up the revolution?
- XCSme 6y agoReally fun, unfortunately it froze during second covid phase.
- bencollier49 6y agoIt got to "Stock Market Crash" and then crashed. Was that a joke?
- yarinr 6y agoThat was pretty cool, and at just the right length.. Thank you and good luck with making games!
- dealpete 6y agoNice to see this working well on Safari. Web games posted on HN sometimes don’t.
- pks016 6y agoGood one. Survived 2020. But man the music is so loud and abrupt at the start.
- gbertasius 6y agoHeh, this this is pretty cool. Donated a couple $. Hope the dev is able to pursue his passion!
- joelvalleroy 6y agoNice work Max!
