Re: Show HN: I made a puzzle game in HTML5
#2When I was a kid, I loved a game called [James Bond Jr.](https://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/james-bond-jr/screenshots...) that had these little puzzles that were super fun to do. Some of them were hair-pulling difficult, too. I never saw a modern rendition of those puzzles, so I thought to create one.
Eight Colors is the result. The rules are simply, but puzzles do get challenging after few levels.
Hope HN likes it! Happy to hear any feedback!

#3Nice work, fun game! (maybe tell user to use arrow keys, I was trying mouse buttons)

#4Not sure if it's a bug, but sometimes single circle stuck and is not moveable

#5Sometimes two circles get stacked on top of each other and there's a blank space where one used to be. Is that a bug or part of the unwritten rules?

#6Are you doing anything with the back button behavior I’m not able to return to the previous site on mobile safari. It’s quite frustrating.
Other than that it seems nice and responsive. The popups for level complete are immersion breaking, perhaps a little more subtlety there.

#7Super fun! I love it. Just the right kind of clever.
1. How do you move the shaded lines without clicking?
2. I had to figure out the arrow keys myself. A tooltip would be helpful
3. Your solve time accumulates after retries

#9I liked the experience. Did HTML 5 ease the development? What are the things that came with HTML 5 that simplified your code?

Reminds me of Yoshi's Cookie, but way cleaner. Great job!
