Seems like this was made by Craig Kaplan ( https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/ ). Had him for graphics while at school there, and he was a fantastic professor

+1 csk is as good as it gets. Had him for my first CS class there and to the end of my time there, that class stood out both in terms of quality and enjoyment/engagement.

If you're at Waterloo and have the chance to be in Craig's class, jump at it.

Doesn't work well on phones though, you really need a tablet. When you get to 4 fingers, it starts randomly losing track of a finger or two when fingers get close to each other. I tried two different Android phones and an iPhone.

Won't even let you start on a computer with DevTools and touch emulation.

How far does it go? I hit some really hard ones with 3 fingers. I think my phone gets confused if my fingers are too close to each other, which makes it especially difficult. This also feels like playing a game of Operation [1]. The author just needs to add an annoying buzzer sound whenever you fail. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(game)

Spoiler Alert

There are 31 levels, though I didn't personally finish. Proof [0]

I changed the user agent of the Mac Safari to be that of iOS, and changed the window size to be in portrait, yet it still does knows it’s not a mobile device. How does it know?

Unconventional, but I played this both solo and with my kiddos. As a multiplayer co-op game it really shines. Granted it's easier than solo, but maneuvering multiple people around a tiny phone was absurdly funny.

this was fun. Any suggestions for other casual co-op games on the phone that I can play with my almost-4 year old?

Search for 2 player games in your app store, there are many bundles with fun games to play with children.
