Looks cool! Alternatively I found that Vue.js rather than React makes it really simple to handle these types of games (though you no longer have the immutability and history which can be useful for persistence). At last Ludum Dare, I quickly hacked one of those games (look at the source to see how compact it can be) http://aqua.gistnoesis.net/ld39.html .

I like immutable objects. But my worry is it will lead to lots of small objects being created just to get destroyed right away, putting lots of pressure on GC. I wonder if this is a known issue in the immutable js community.

GC?

That paperclip game is insanely addictive!

Are there similar games designed to be "hacked" with javascript in the console?
