It wasn't my intention to hijack back button. I was merely pushing the links to the current level, so that it's easier to share the level you're playing. But it does seem there's a better way to do it. The URL itself can be changed without modifying the history[1]. I will push a fix soon for this.

This is called hijacking the back button and it's an extremely irritating practice.

Or they've made an SPA and are trying to make use of the history API and just have a bug. Don't assume bad intentions.

That's literally what that means. Most of the time it isn't intentional though, at least in the sense of preventing the user from leaving.

Hijacking is deliberate.

I like it. I do not like the back button behavior though.

I might see if you can fix that at some point in the future. You probably have other things to fix first. Great idea though.

After reading the comments, I thought back would be undo, but it doesn't seem to do that. It just triggers the game to "reload" to the exact same positions?
