The author is intentionally limiting this app to touch-only for touch-capable users. This breaks the game for anyone wanting to use a touchpad or mouse on their touchscreen laptop. The offending code (from http://gameaboutsquares.com/game.c.js , beautified): (function($) { try { document.createEvent("TouchEvent"); return; } catch (f) {} var eventMap = { mousedown : "touchstart", mouseup : "touchend", mousemove : "tou…

Further more it is completely unusable on some touch devices, I tried iPad 4 and iPhone 5. They both scroll the page (better: bump to the top, as if you wanted to scroll past the end of a page) instead of moving the blocks. :-/

It's always a bit of a shame when software provides no affordances for the colourblind. It's not nearly as uncommon as some people think it to be. Games and visualisation software tend to be particularly bad culprits in this. (Also, you want the one on the left)

While software should be designed with accessibility in mind, ideally this could be managed by the display, allowing applications to be agnostic to the needs of colour blind users. Would it be possible for displays to insert a colour-transformation layer to shift all colours to different palettes which are more distinct for each type of colour blindness? This might only work for partial colour blindness, but does any…

interesting - its working in firefox but not in chrome 36.

As mentioned above, if the game detects touch capable browser (which new Chrome versions do if you're on Win8 I believe) it'll block mouse input.
