Information:
This is something I'd been thinking about for a while. And since I had a little extra time what with the current shutin going on, I decided it was time to just go ahead and do it.

This is a fully playable game, written entirely in vanilla JavaScript. No frameworks or plugins. It really doesn't need any of that stuff.
