It's actually a good game... would like some guns on the airship... click to fire?

Found a similar game for the iPhone (since it doesn't do Flash) and it's free this weekend! Amazing Blue Fugu http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazing-blue-fugu/id415074279...

It's more of a 'fun' thing I guess, despite the javascript obfuscation, etc.

Turns out it's pretty easy to 'hack' it if you look at the ajax request sent when you submit your score and just craft an xmlhttprequest with the same parameters and the token you get when you click the Start button (yay firebug)... but that would ruin the purpose of the game wouldn't it :)

... unless someone really really wanted one of those 100 t-shirts haha.

I think it's because the rectangles used for collision testing are too large.

It's because the Honey Badger don't give a F@CK!
