DEFENDER of the favicon is little pixel game that plays as the browser’s favicon. It’s “a JavaScript remake of Eugene Jarvis’ brilliant arcade game Defender written by Mathieu ‘p01’ Henri and inspired by Scott Schiller’s experiment with generated favicons VU meter. The idea was to push the concept of generated favicons further and pack a thrilling retro shooter in 16x16 pixels using JavaScript, canvas and data: URIs.  Press N to start a game or shoot, and WASD or the arrow keys to move your Defender over the humanoid city. If your browser struggles to update the favicon, press enter to toggle between favicon & canvas display.” [via dalmaer on twitter]

This goes in the ‘useless but cool’ bin..

I played it for 10 seconds before my eyes died :)
