I made this game ten years ago without framework. It took my free time for months to develop. I find myself having fun playing it today. Maybe some will enjoy

Extremely impressively polished, no framework is not an easy way to make that. Very fun!

I don't know if you're looking for feedback but I found the spider doing something other than what I wanted when I tapped more often than I expected. I think me practicing more might fix that.

The control instructions might bear repeating to help with that.

Really fun game! Really cool how well touch worked in browser on my phone.

Such good flashbacks to JezzBall[0].

Those leaves. I'm going outside to kick some nature, that'll teach it!

This feels like such a clever and sneaky improvement over the classic jezzball mechanic¹. It captures that "I can just make it"-aspect perfectly, and has an incredible level of polish.

It all feels perfect, standup75.

For once a web-game that’s playable on touchscreen! (Evn though sometimes it’s not entirely clear why that direction was chosen). I applaud that and the game itself (including the music, tutorial, menus and so on, very polished).

I went up to the level 8 with the introduction of leaves which their randomness and harshness made me stop.

What am I missing? This is all I see when I visit this website: https://cs.joshstrange.com/TPPHLPT1 I don't see any JS errors or failures to load any resources.

HN hug of the death, it used to work earlier. The issue is not on your side.

Nice game, got lost a little in it.

But the time to try again takes a little too long, would be nice if the level would load again very quick.

Anobody that loves this, try Gals n' Panic (it was an NSFW arcade/mame game): https://archive.org/details/arcade_galsnew

One of my favourite games of all time!

Looks like it got hugged to death in some way.

Love it, thanks for sharing!

Doesn't seem to work.

Tons of fun, Thanks!

Thank you!

Very enjoyable. Tree levels are very difficult. Still fun.

A lovely version of Qix from days of old. I used to love that game. Super cool
