Super Markup Man was created by Roppy Chop Studios. It is based on an HTML5 game of the same name and a smaller Android app called The Super Easy HTML Practice Game. This is considered the quintessential version, however, that introduces new assets, more content, better coding practices, and refined gameplay mechanics.
