The level that really made me smile was one with about twenty "exits", only one of which was real. One of the cursors sat by the real one and danced invitingly until everyone noticed.

Did they figure out which was the real one, and then restart the game and get to that level just to point out the correct answer?

I did that for a bit - you can observe that people's cursors don't warp to the beginning at that exit.

A simulated social experiment it is. This is pretty much how societies will need to be like. WIN - WIN - WIN!

I went AFK after reaching a particularly hard level, and came back to "Lost connection to server." Apparently it boots you if you're AFK for more than a minute or two.

A bit frustrating, considering how much "work" I put in to get to that point.

It's hands-down the best HTML 5 game experience I've ever had. I look forward to more.

So much fun, great to see how people work together to help each other win. I gave up on the one where you had to squeeze through a bunch of narrow red pathways, it's not so easy on a trackpad.

I was staring at that one so intently that the walls started morphing.

When I got to that level a cursor was drawing an arrow to a false path. I couldn't figure out how to draw, so I assume a "fake cursor" was part of the level.

I have that message too now, I think the server simply went down, as I was not AFK at all.
