Start with the author's page

The itch listing is the one I treat as Nicky Case's own. It says the game is free, made for a mouse, in English, and released into the public domain. This website's play button serves that same browser game from a fixed source revision, so you are not sent through an ad maze first.

Newgrounds shows the author's upload on 24 October 2016, with an Ages 13+ / mild violence mark, about 1.02 million views and a 4.70 score from 15,989 votes when the research for this page was checked. speedrun.com lists 18 October 2016. I keep both dates. I do not average them.

Portals and the odd dates

Poki labels the release July 2021. That is Poki’s listing date; the author’s Newgrounds upload is from October 2016. Poki also shows a 4.5 score from millions of votes and says desktop, phone, and tablet. CrazyGames says October 2016, an update in October 2018, a 9.2 score, and then contradicts itself: one line says desktop-only, another says desktop and mobile.

KBH's current page includes touch instructions. Scratch hosts a separate recreation, not this build. The phone question, including store apps Case did not make, is on mobile. The Steam port is on Steam. Files you can actually download are on download.

Wide still from the game showing the crowd and the television headline bar.

https://ncase.itch.io/wbwwb is the listing on Nicky Case's itch page. Newgrounds 683106 is also an upload by the author, dated 24 October 2016.
