I feel like most of these graphs seem to be the same graph just with a different initial conditions?

Here's a Numberphile video that talks about embedding graphs. I think this happens because the subset of graphs that are able to be embedded in a plane is actually fairly limited.

the moving backgrounds are gonna give people issues.

i also had trouble reading the text on the backgrounds; consider changing the font colour to something that has significantly a different value (as in, Hue-Saturation-Value) from the background.

also as somebody has pointed out, the drag box felt tiny.

Click and hold on the background. Now you've got issues!

Also click on bonus area and then perturb the things.

That’s also one of the puzzles in Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection ( https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ )

Yeah, I was going to say, I've played a lot of this because I ran Kubuntu on my laptop for several years and Simon Tatham’s games are sort of our win-98-minesweeper.
