- Therefore, visiting the site is unsafe because..? The FSB will embed an exploit in it in attempts to hack you? Because you will divulge private information(beyond playing the game) to the FSB? It's unclear what the threat you are trying to combat is.
This is besides the point(I am ready to believe for the sake of argument that Yandex is indeed owned by the FSB), but the wikipedia page you linked doesn't seem to support your argument. It seems like Yandex is trying to thread the needle between legal law enforcement requests and the safety and privacy of their users. Here's the full quote you ellipsed:
> In June 2019, RBC News reported that Yandex had refused a request by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) under the Yarovaya law to surrender encryption keys that could decrypt the private data of its e-mail service and cloud storage users. The company argued that it was possible to comply with the relevant law without compromising its users' privacy.[82] Maxim Akimov, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, said that the government will take action to relieve FSB pressure on the company.[83] Alexander Zharov, head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media, subsequently said that Yandex and the FSB had reached an agreement where the company would provide the required data without handing over the encryption keys.[84]
On December 31, 2020 the Russian government approved a list of Russian programs that must be preinstalled on all mobile devices and computers imported into Russia, including next software:
Google is private corporation which produces own device & own operating system for them (aka "Android"). Google is not government of USA. US citizens may not buy Google device with preinstalled Google apps.
Russian government does not produces own devices even own operating system, but want preinstall apps developed by russian devs (controlled by FSB RF) on all devices produced by other countries. Russian citizens would not be able to buy any device without preinstalled apps required by Russian government since April 1, 2021.
> For security reasons, keep uMatrix & uBlock Origin turned ON while visiting reference link!
All it takes to protect oneself against the FSB is turning on uBlock? Really?
Some may remember what a Google team (Project Zero) discovered in China in 2019: the government used several official and private web sites to exploit 0-day vulnerabilities in iphones so that they could track the Uighur people. Apple later confirmed the hacking campaign.
> the Russian government approved a list of Russian programs that must be preinstalled …
Maybe the malicious intent that is heavily suggested here exists, but this list needs some explanation, which I found online.
By the end of 2019, the Russian government decided to promote the Russian software by pre-installing the most popular of them on every device sold. Russian companies were to submit their candidacy, and the government promised it would select the application with the most users during 2020.
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?
No. 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.
Please apply your own advice to your own original comment.
Saying that company A cooperated with bad entity B in the past does not in any form show that website C using product D of company A does any dangerous thing to your device.
It'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.
Oh 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.
Hmmm; 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
The 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.
I 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.)
(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)
Tried 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.

Same 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).
I'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.
I 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.
They 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.
This 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.
