Fastest I can manage is 0.5s, can anyone die quicker?

#12Nice! IMO, it ought to be significantly harder. I was able to survive for 45 seconds on my first try--that's long enough that I started getting bored, and I don't really want to try again because it would take at least 45 seconds to beat my previous score. By comparison, consider how long a typical Flappy Bird game lasts, particularly on your first try--probably less than 10 seconds at most! That makes you want to tr…
That makes some sense. My main concern before was that if the difficulty is too high at the very beginning, it might discourage players.

thats amazing!
the quickest I could do was 0.7s lol

#15Didn't move at all, top 81% of all time.
Seems about right, no? What number would you expect?
Of the 19% of the players worse than you, some tried to die quickly on purpose, others were perhaps less lucky than you...

#17I think your math on the percentage is inverted. If you immediately die it says you're in the top 99%
Nope! “Top K” means you’re on the high score list of size K. Only the best players are in the “top 1%” for example. Being in the top 50 is more prestigious than the top 300,000.
Maybe if you do worse than half the people, it should invert to say the bottom 30% or the bottom 1%. Makes it clearer that you did "badly".

I am not sure the highscores get updated. I don't see HTTP requests or a websocket to communicate with the server

This is a great use case for using an algorithmic difficulty ramp where it can really dial in that curve to solve for getting people to play longer over multiple sessions.
