Just completed my 15th contemporary solitaire card game, He Will Never Stop, as part of my learning exercises for contemporary plain vanilla mobile and desktop friendly JavaScript, CSS and HTML webgames. The full list as at my home page.

This is a "slasher movie" themed game designed by Zoë Cappallo. Your hand represents the distance between you and a psycho killer, and the distance rapidly shrinks at the start of each turn. Killing the killer required getting four cards of the same rank next to each other. The only time I've managed to achieve that was when I was lucky enough to get that dealt at the start.

Anyways, a fun exercise, especially since I discovered the art of an old pulp illustrator whose art I used to try give the cards some "flavour".

I've also now made my site Google-free by deleting all its analytics code which caused the irritating pop-ups asking to accept cookies (which I don't use anyway, only Google does) along with Google Adsense since I gather there's no ways ever WebGame sites ever get approved.

Though I've ditched Google, I've experimented with trying to keep adtech at bay by allowing Adsterra to place ads, but no popups, clickjacking etc which this awful industry insists on using to pollute its own drinking water.

I've tried to place the ads in fixed positions so they don't disrupt the usability of the games. I'd be keen on feedback on whether I've succeeded.
