I love the idea of playing with regular expressions like that. I think that it could probably start a little slower and then maybe speed up and it got a little hard to keep going once most of the words were upside down. Also, I'm amused by the wordplay on the theme, although I'll still have to rate lower for that. Audio is awesome."},{"author_name":"jpmit","author_uid":"38953","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:29pm","epoch":1408987440,"text":"Original and fun. Cool sound effects and music.

Got 310 first try... more next, but clicked away. Is frustrating that once you start dragging a link, if the source word gets knocked by incoming words, then the link breaks. Might also be nice if they flipped to shop word right way up - because rotating words in your head is not really part of Regex understanding - though it feels like that sometimes!
