The music could use some work: multiple instruments, more complicated melodies, etc.\n\nI'd ramp up the difficulty scaling; adding a few adversaries at a time, rather than one per level. Also disappointed by the lack of innovation. How about enemies which slowly home in on the character *(dot?)*, projectiles to dodge, areas with slow down or speed up effects? New ideas!\n\nFound one bug. This situation filled up the WebGL memory.\n![QIX.png](\/\/\/raw\/4e3\/z\/1a937.png)\n\nThe area fill algorithm seems quite intensive, takes a second or two for it to finish. Just looking at the code, it seems this is caused by the excessive use of List.Contains() in the findAreasFromSeedPoints function.\n\nThe optimization is simple. Instead of using lists to contain the tiles for checking use a 2 dimensional int array where the index denotes the state of the tile at the x,y coordinates. This way both setting and getting the current state of a tile is an O(1) operation.\n\nIt works. Would have liked to see some changes to the formula, not just a rehash.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Eric Kulbiej","author_uid":"1103214","time":"2018-09-02T00:10:24Z","epoch":1535847024,"modified":1535847024,"text":"Your game is very nice to play. The general impact is positive. \nAs a professional game dev I would suggest... just kidding haha\nNonetheless, if you want to work on this project more I suggest making a difficulty incresing algorithm.\nGraphics - very nice. Controls are also working very well.\nMaybe you could also take a glimpse at my game? I already enlarged it into a wholesome Android game :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"meatpudding","author_uid":"1063289","time":"2018-09-03T11:30:53Z","epoch":1535974253,"modified":1535974253,"text":"I played for a while and got out of memory error in the browser.

Love that game and really nice to see a modern implementation of it.\n\nThe pictures are a bit low resolution which I found disappointing. Would love to be able to reveal more recognizable and beautiful pictures.\n\nThere is a big delay when you complete a section which was frustrating. The movement was also a bit unresponsive, felt like I couldn't turn when I wanted to.\n\nI really loved getting this blast from the past.
