Welcome to TitleRun — the game that only exists in your title bar

It's simple... Jump over the obstacles to survive and reach the flag!

Note: This game requires the browsers title bar and keyboard input. For the best experience, use Chrome/Firefox with this tab in a separate window.

Confused?

Wondering where the game is..? Well — Look up!

Ahem, the *title bar*

Need help?

Here's some keyboard shortcuts:

• SPACE / ▴ to jump
• S to start the game
• R to reload
• 1-3 to load a specific map

Wanna make your own map?

You've played a few rounds and want to try creating a new map? Awesome! You can add a map via your browsers localStorage. Simply, set the map key-value pair. The value can be any string of unicode characters.

e.g., this is what map #1 looks like:

                ▖     ▖        ▘     ▖   ▖    ▘    ▖      ⚑

Hit M to clear the local map key-value pair.

Here's some building blocks (i.e., unicode characters) to get you started:

•   whitespace for the map *trust me it's there (i.e., en quad)
• ▖ bottom block (i.e., quadrant lower left)
• ▘ top block (i.e., quadrant upper left)
• ⚑ goal flag, *optional, but a nice touch (i.e., black flag)

*Only top/bottom blocks cause collisions (i.e., need to be avoided while playing). All other unicode characters will not harm the player (yep, even ãbç ...)

Well, it's not really a website and it's not in the address bar, but inspired nontheless.
