I'm hoping the author is way ahead of us. If he were smart, the game should be approved in iTunes and uploaded to Google Play, just ready for him to click "Publish" the moment this web version picks up some traffic. Otherwise, Google Play will have a clone by the weekend if not sooner, and iTunes, maybe a week or two.

I'm curious what would stop someone from directly copying his code and sticking it in an webview of an android app.?
Somebody will definitely do it, on a throwaway dev account, but the original developer will only need to file a complaint and that account will almost certainly get banned for such blatant copyright infringement.
excelent addictive game, btw, what is the trick in level 15 ? i can't go beyond
Don Quichot spinning effect (level 29) is too much for my eyes...

I use a touch-enabled laptop and come across this far too often. Even nytimes.com is guilty of this, as is Stripe Checkout.
We're now treating the touch-only versions as optimized for specific platforms. For example, we have a mobile version that is optimized for, and only displays on, Android and iOS. Going forward, we may explore a pointer event polyfill to improve support for less common touch devices.

We actually changed this recently in Stripe Checkout. Touch detection worked great for 99% of cases, but serving a touch-only experience to devices like yours was pretty clearly unacceptable.

Advice to author. Create iOS and Android versions of games ASAP. You are just hours away from getting cloned on app stores.
