Pretty cool site. The pong game is (hopefully) an elegant tool for pre-screening clients; or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

One note: if you're trying to show off how successful you make your clients, don't list clients that appear to have gone under. The link to Oh Crap (the app) points to a generic GoDaddy domain page.

Their site hasn't gone up yet, but thanks for the comment! And yes, it is a way of pre-screening clients. And yes, I'd highly suggest doing something similar if you freelance.

Cool, good to know. I'd maybe put a tooltip over that link for now ("Link coming soon!" or something). I love the timeline scroll animation, by the way. Congrats on doing something really cool with scroll without completely breaking it - not enough people respect the scrollbar.

Respect the back button.

`history.pushState()`

Besides that, looks great guys!

Thanks! We've had enough people complain about the back button, we'll remove that.

Your unnecessary URL changing trick completely blocks the use of the Back button.

It's not intended to be much of a trick, just utilizing the HTML5 history library. Would you opt for HTML5 pushstate with hashtags or just removing it altogether?

Removed the history pushstate, everyone should be happy now!
