Thanks for the feedback everyone! Sorry about the imbalances in the gameplay - my decision to actually submit occurred relatively late in the comp (I had a lot on my plate that weekend), and gameplay was so radically modified in the last 6-hour push to get something out the door I didn't really have time to retweak parameters.

It was largely a proof-of-concept of the SVG game idea (LD seems like a good opportunity for this kind of experimentation), so in that context I'm rather happy with it, and (now that I have a bit of a handle on the medium) I'm quite looking forward to pushing things further next LD.

@Reelix: You beat me - 31 :P

@mpc174: It's probably the calculation of the web distortion. My original algorithm brought Chrome crashing to its knees; the current version is much simpler, but still pretty intensive. I suspect browsers aren't really optimised for this sort of thing - I tried it in Firefox after the comp, and was also a little disappointed by the frame rate.

@Cosine: Thanks for the breakdown. The web repair is rather slow (another parameter that could've done with some tweaking...), so you might have just been dashing around a bit too quickly for it to have any noticeable effect.

@Daniel + Andrew: Agreed. Lesson learned for next LD: allow time for balancing game parameters.

@cornedor: Thanks!
