Good job.\r<br\/>But I don't like the concept of moving a character to interact with something that resembles a puzzle. Would perhaps liked it more if movement was faster, more direct."},{"author_name":"Liam :D","author_uid":"20786","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:10pm","epoch":1418061900,"text":"Neat game, however my experience was hindered by the web page moving when I pressed the arrow keys or space. The easiest, most painless solution that I can suggest (however by far not the best solution) is that you set the style of the html or body tag to use overflow:hidden. This disables scrollbars. You need to ensure your page is understandable without scrollbars tho."},{"author_name":"The Jahn","author_uid":"2485","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:12pm","epoch":1418062020,"text":"Should use preventDefault() on the up\/down keydown events to keep the page from scrolling during play on the web version.

Also it's bit overwhelming at the beginning because I was unsure (i couldn't remember) what certain colors and shapes do to each other. But good job! (and small bug at the end: probably if the player already won, this result shouldn't change as the side effect of simulation progressing on the background ;)"},{"author_name":"borgi","author_uid":"39688","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 12:18am","epoch":1418083980,"text":"Great idea!
