I got 360 points. Waiting is fine, people are wimps :)\r\rI would like you to set up google analytics if you haven't already: I'd like to know how long people spend on the game. Also, world-wide leader board please. \r\rSomething else that's neat about this game is that later, you could implement more mini-games and throw them in without telling anyone.

It's all client side at the moment so it would be easy to cheat by submitting fake scores.\r\rI was planning to add more games but ran out of time. But more games can be added and I probably will once the judging has ended.\r\rHaven't even heard about VESPER5 until now, but that game is much more extreme about waiting :)\r\r@cahman\rsmoother transitions is something I wanted to do and might add later"},{"author_name":"KayZ","author_uid":"17933","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 5:29pm","epoch":1367342640,"text":"Oh, I just discovered I have a bug in the breakout game.
