Made by Per Bergland and, funnily enough, Max Tegmark.

There's also a slightly saner variant called Frac which is only 3D.

Also, anybody else find it a bit amazing that we can emulate DOS games in our frickin' browsers‽

Hey I still get impressed by smartphones and I've had one for almost 20 years now. I also remember when the emscripten LLVM-to-asm.js compiler came out which was one of the first tools that allowed people to compile pretty surprising things for browsers, and I definitely still get impressed by the fact that we can emulate old systems in our web browsers which were absolutely not intended for that.
