#142This has a real chance to be a successful mobile game, if I were you I may start thinking about an app. Every project has to stop somewhere, though, so leaving it as a fun little game in the browser would be fine too!
It is a mobile game. Used to play it years ago. Different style, but same idea. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dont-touch-the-spikes/id895942...

#143This is a really cool idea, it has flappy bird vibes. The only complaint is that it's a bit too easy and gets boring after a while because there's no challenge.

#144Cool gameplay loop! Lots of short jumps makes it easier. Maybe change it so that every time a paddle is hit the player gets 10 points but looses a point every time they jump.

#145If this isn't working for you on Firefox, check that dom.webaudio.enabled isn't set to false.
If Web Audio is disabled then window.AudioContext is undefined, causing a crash:
Uncaught TypeError: AudioContext is not a constructor

#146Cool game!
It would be even better if every time you hit the paddles the speed increases, this way it becomes more difficult with time and makes the game less boring.

The game does increase in difficulty (shrinking paddles, increased speed).

#149I think I'm too old to do any better, I got 29. What a neat little idea, very clever!

#150I'm working on a game right now, and one of my roadblocks is how to handle the myriad of resolutions, aspect ratios, and portrait vs landscape modes, plus the overriding some mobile browsers do for touch (scrolling the screen, etc). What has been your approach to consolidating all of those differences so a game "just works" on all platforms?
