Maybe they added this after you posted, but under the game it says "Jon Huang/The New York Times, based on the original game by Rootof Creations HB"

Okay... the Ads-as-asteroids blaster game on this page is FANTASTIC.

EDIT Okay... it's a DIV blaster or something. either way, love it. Score 2180

Only thing I read was "Press Enter to Continue."
