Nice article, definitely intrigued me.

Even though it's a web-based game, it wasn't playable on Mac or Linux until now. Pretty good stuff, addictive game and pretty funny (though some of the characters were just so absurdly broad and stereotypical, the joke got old quickly, like the Pokemon girl, the ninja and the Sonic stand-in).
