What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 2006
A browser toy in which you draw lines with the mouse and press play to send a boy on a sled down them under simulated physics.
Slovenian student Boštjan Čadež posted it to DeviantArt on 23 September 2006; it had 10,000 viewers in a day and over four million views by October. Players shared elaborate tracks as YouTube videos, and Jay Is Games named it Best Webtoy of 2006.
In 2006: Posted on 23 September to its creator's DeviantArt page; videos of tracks drawn in it had 15 million YouTube views by December.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
