	tl;dr: A browser-based StarCraft fan game called "Ashfall" where players command Terran units (Marines, Firebats, Siege Tanks) defending the "Ash Bridge" against a Zerg swarm. Features include Raynor as a commander hero, mutator modifiers, reinforcement mechanics, and kill-count progression. The game is designed for portrait/vertical mobile play only.
	HN Discussion: ↑Creator shares motivation: built the mobile ad-style game Blizzard never delivers ↓Criticism that it barely qualifies as a game due to minimal controls and interaction ↓Concern about unauthorized use of Blizzard's intellectual property ↑Enjoyable casual experience despite the game largely playing itself •Amused recognition that it mimics the deceptive mobile ad game genre
