It's an infinite game -- you don't die and score can go both up and down. This is a new kind of game for me.

Never tried to play Kerbal Space Program, or Minecraft, or... well... pretty much every sandbox game out there? ;).

The graphics are kind of blurry and fuzzed-out by scaling. It seems to be a by-product of re-rendering the the sprite images within a object.

This would be top notch if the images were resized to provide crisp, well-pixelated edges. The spritesheets look great, in and of themselves, but the browsers scale them poorly.

I was going on pretty well, really enjoying the game and taking advantage of the fact that I have two mouse buttons (external + laptop's) to avoid breaking a single mouse (or my finger) with so many furious clicks. At some point the X server crashed - I wonder if due to so many clicks, or due to clicking on both mice. Did anyone experience the same issue?

Canvas actually has a context attribute to disable filtering in modern builds of Firefox and Chrome. mozImageSmoothingEnabled/webkitImageSmoothingEnabled, iirc.

I think that's an homage to the original.
