Browser Game Turns Doomscrolling into Playable Doom-Inspired Experience
By

Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A developer creates a browser-based game inspired by the classic Doom video game where the only control mechanism is scrolling. The game transforms the concept of 'doomscrolling' into an actual gaming experience, requiring players to navigate through levels using only vertical scrolling movements without traditional game controls like lateral movement or jumping.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledBut sometimes when I hear the word 'doomscrolling' it makes me think of two other things: the classic video game Doom and, well, scrolling.
That got me wondering if I could make a Doom-inspired game in a web browser where the only thing you do to play is scroll.
No moving your character laterally, no jumping. Just scrolling.
So I made it. And it's fun!
