Really cool. Two suggestions: 1. Widescreen aspect ratios 2. Volume slider, not just control. I'm listening on headphones at my desk at the lowest volume on OSX and it is still too loud. If I try to go any lower the sound turns off.

For point 2, try pressing:

SHIFT + OPTION + VOLUMEDOWN

Definitely agree on the widescreen aspect ratios though, could make a really cool experience even cooler.

a volme control would be nice

Interesting. You still use this feature? I always thought YouTube and the like still included it on their sites as a throwback to an earlier time, or something. I always use the software on the playback device itself to control the speakers.

I almost always play several things at once. The standard is to have Twitch or Netflix/HBO on one monitor and a game on the other. Without specific volume controls it would be a disaster.

Really mesmerizing! I've actually been watching Hypermasher from time to time since it was also submitted here [1]. I like the improvements that you've made, the interface is certainly nicer, and your codebase appears to be more concise. Hypermasher could run without Flash (barring the music), but Hyperlax refuses to start without it, however that's just a nitpick (though you might be surprised at the number of people who have flash disabled by default these days.)

That helped, but definitely would have expected it to just be in the UI and not require an unfamiliar keyboard shortcut.

This music is amazing! Is it from one playlist on soundcloud?

The default is one playlist, yes. But if you head to the "music" tab, you can choose from a bunch more!

I might be missing it, but is there a link anywhere to the individual playlists on Soundcloud? Would love little links on the music tab to go straight to the playlist vs. just the individual song from clicking the link at the bottom right.

The playlist is great but I don't always want the video running to listen to it.

What's supposed to happen? All I see is a big photo of a kid, and a music player that isn't making any sound.

Hhmm. Do you see a big button that says "Let's Go!"? If not, you may have flash blocked/disabled. LMK what browser you're using. Really sorry about that. Promise it's worth it!

Chrome - had flashblock on, but after enabling flash, still won't go. (hope this helps)

Thank you!

Regarding the flash issue, you're right, I'm noticing this too. Completely didn't think about that. The "let's go" button waits for the sound to finish loading, but if it never does, you can't start it :/.

I'll look into this, hopefully not too many people are affected.
