I'm hyped you're here, but this game wasn't designed for small screens, and you will not enjoy attempting it. I mean, would you write code on your phone? Actually, don't answer, because I don't want to know. Anyway, hope to see you soon on a desktop. -Marcos”

Unsure if the site is supposed to be satire or something because that is the message I received, however, CSS, including responsive design, is actually simple to pick up.
Note that I’m not a designer at all (because THAT requires actual skill), just a dev.

I USE CSS EVERY DAY. YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY TOLERANCE FOR SELF-HARM, MORTAL.

There's any number of reasons the author might not support mobile for this personal, free project. "I don't feel like it" would be a perfectly valid one.
Also, based on their GitHub profile, they already have a job (at Google).
