THREE.WebGLRenderer 58 three.min.js (line 408) Error creating WebGL context. In the console on FF 25 (Linux), no visible error message. WebGL usually works great. Maybe some missing extension?

Same error with FF 26 MacOS X. Usually, I have no problem with WebGL.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I agree—this game is really frustrating because it's difficult to see the barriers. Challenging games are often frustrating, don't disagree with you there - but this particular flavor of challenge isn't really fun. I'd prefer "it came too fast" or "it was moving and hit me" to "the wall looked just like the opening." I definitely got better after my first few plays at discerning the walls from the openings, but it to…

Just chiming in to agree with this. Games that are difficult because of their UI usually aren't very fun. Also, it seems important for the game to quantize input. I.e. right now you can occupy a continuous height anywhere from "0.0 to 1.0", but it would be much more fun if the game would automatically snap your height to either "bottom, middle, or top." It's quite frustrating to lose because you just barely clip a ga…

I didn't realise it was a continuous range of heights, 3 set heights would definitely be better as the holes are at set heights. Fantastic game and music, though. Really demonstrates how capable WebGL actually is.

The movement isn't sensitive enough. You shouldn't have to lift the mouse at all when playing computer games with bounded motion like this; this game requires me to lift the mouse 3-4 times just to go from the lowest barrier to the highest. It's not my sensitivity since I can traverse all 1080 pixels in less than a single vertical swipe of my mouse. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Same problem here. I couldn't get it to move properly at all unless I picked the mouse up and moved it.

Amazing! I really enjoyed the game, and I have a tip, maybe to be possible continue the game round even if you failed to pass through the gates, but reseting the score and speed, this way will be possible to continue listening this incredible music! =)

Beautiful but restarting from the beginning on the slightest mistake makes this game negative fun to play.

Agreed. I'd love to be able to restart where I left off. Maybe the high score could reset, but the music could continue. The music's great, and coupled with the color change at the drop, it could be really cool.
