The classic flash game Happy Wheels is now available to purchase on Steam. Ahhh, nostalgia. Nice to see this game will live forever.
We’re so back. Can’t wait to see a new influx of community maps!

It is the original menu 35 second .ogg from 2010 (SuperPretzel.ogg). It is showing “featured levels”, I don’t know when that was finalized but probably around that time.

So, what is is it? The web version + a web browser shoved onto Steam? The flash version and flash player shoved onto Steam (like “Transformice”)? The mobile version?
The system requirements say “Any GPU with WebGL” which sounds like it’s the fucking web browser one, although the actual game uses a 2D canvas and not WebGL I am pretty sure.

Why is this a problem?

You waste a few hundred megs of disk storage and a few gigs of RAM to get the same shit as totaljerkface.com/happy_wheels.tjf but with achievements.
Was about to mention the Flash version at happy_wheels_flash.tjf but they broke it. Ran fine at least last year, I tried it.
The only good thing I see here is offline support, although someone could code it as a userscript using “service workers”. I know the totaljerkface won’t, because money. If you really want, you could just open the Newgrounds demo (featuring the Flash exclusive “Green hills” level) in desktop Ruffle. You will get bored of it after a bit but if you get a few dozen more Flash games it’s fine. Oh, and the actual Newgrounds page for it has controller support, it says so in the sidebar. One of the things advertised on Steam is controller support, so I guess that’s nothing new as well… It’s not analog, but I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t be using a dpad here anyway.
