   The levels are procedurally generated from a pool of chunks. We currently have too few different "exit" chunks, so that's why it seems a bit repetitive.

   I agree this would be a nice feature to have. In the meantime, you can use the RequestPolicy add-on in order to block cross-domain requests to G+ in your other tabs. In this case, NoScript won't even be needed because the script won't be lo

    There was not any attempt to make it run faster in Firefox 4. The goal is to showcase the Web as a platform and its possibilities. There is clearly no point in making it run well only in one browser. Besides, we developed this demo on OSX,

    This is why I use "Request Policy" on Firefox. It prevents by default all kinds of cross-domain requests like these. It's a bit painful to set up at first for all sites that you visit frequently (similar to setting up NoScript), but then yo

    Just for the sake of correctness, I want to point out that it's the IETF, not W3C, which is responsible for the WebSocket protocol.

    True. It seems HTML5 is the new way of saying "Not using Flash".

    I'm sorry but Heroku is far from being free, unless you mean free as in Free Software. Google App Engine is another awesome PaaS which is really free, because the free quotas are huge compared to Heroku's tiny 5MB database.

    I think the idea is fantastic and your design is lovely. Just one bit of criticism : I think you really could use a better logo on the website. It's quite hard to read and seems a bit uninspired compared to the awesome app design. I wish yo
