Speed Warp
Tom Medley's Candy Box-inspired ASCII webtoy: an arcade, a crafting bay, a secret lab, warp time.

Speed Warp is Tom Medley's 2013 Candy Box-inspired JS webtoy, still served from its own S3 bucket at speed-warp.net (verified 200, real game HTML confirmed: Fredley's Arcade, Crafting Bay, Secret Lab, and a Warp Time button waiting to be pressed).
What the loop feels like
You win a coin, the coin buys a warp, and the warp wins faster coins. That's Speed Warp.
Playing it today
Free at the official site, with two visually-verified assets above (the JayIsGames review screenshot showing the ASCII title and rocket, and the Almost Idle thumb showing the arcade's 'You won 1 coin' moment), since the game is pure text/ASCII with no favicon and a 403-ing icon path.
The verdict
A small ASCII webtoy still standing on its own hosting, documented with the two images the rest of the internet bothered to keep.
