Doesn't work on my ipad (ios7). The screen just tries to constantly resize to fit all the content, and my taps are thrown away before they ever get to the game. The recent "Flappy Bert" http://www.sesamestreet.org/cms-static/flappy_bert/ doesn't have this problem.

Get yourself a proper computer.

Is it too much to ask that a web-based clone of a single-input game originally designed for phones and tablets also work on a phone or tablet? Apparently for you, it is. Either that or this was some kind of platform flame. I can never tell any more.

Platform flame, FYI.

An, I suspected as much. Let me respond in kind, then. Ahem.

Kindly insert the antiquated, unfriendly device that you dignify with the name "proper computer" into your excretory orifice of your choice.

Hmm, not very good. I'm really not very good at platform flames any more. Especially when it's such an unspecific one as "tablet" vs "not tablet". I dunno, I'll take a shot in the dark and urge you to go back to fellating Bill Gates and his heirs, or Linus? Or pick up on the British English and suggest that you go back to your precious Speccy. I mean, really, give me something to work with, man.
