Wasn't Vampire Survivors originally a browser based game too wrapped in Electron?

Yes — the early prototype of Vampire Survivors was built in the browser (Phaser).

My project is similar in spirit, but with a much tighter constraint: a single self-contained HTML file, no engine, no assets.

Tried the game and it was pretty good! The polygonal look fits really well, reminds me of games by Introversion.

A couple of suggestions:

* Add gamepad support, there's a browser API for that. * Things are way too tiny compared to VS running on same screen. It was often hard to precisely maneuver and distinguish between entities.

On a side note, I'd definitely play a mix of fl0w/Spore with VS.

Yes, written in Phaser.js

The engine was rewritten for performance (in C++?), but the designer is fluent enough in Phaser/JavaScript that they continue using the original engine for testing new features.
