If you want try out some real gameplay, before you launch select "hazardcourse" in the dropdown menu and click "new game" from the in-game main menu.

Works extremely well, until I try crouch-jumping (space-ctrl-W). Firefox interprets this as ctrl-w and asks me if I want to close the tab (and the mouse pointer doesn't get re-confined again).

I'm not even using a QWERTY layout, so I have to contort to press W... It's a common issue with US-made games.

And OS maybe, had no problems on KDE.

That's on sway. I can try KDE, but I'd be surprised if the result is different. Just pressing ctrl-w opens the popup and definitely breaks pointer confinement.

There is also "uplink", which is Half-Life: Uplink, the demo of the game. Those are several levels that were originally part of the retail game but were cut and then used as a demo.
