The performance issues weren't apparent to me at first because it runs fine on my PC. Sorry about that!

Thanks for playing everyone! I see that at least some of you experienced the game the way I had intended, so I can now officially declare this LD a success for me.
In reaction to some of your questions and concerns:
-Regarding having to wait when you lose all your balls: intentional! Await the inevitability of death, it is your punishment for betraying the trust of the balls! (hint: if you don't want to wait you can press R at any time to restart)
-Regarding the lack of a pause feature: oops. click out of the screen and HaxeFlixel will pause it automatically though.
-Regarding the mouse leaving the screen: That'll teach me to use mouse controls in Flash. Keyboard controls just weren't responsive enough though. Oh well.
-Regarding the graphics: no procedural anything, just 16 sprites with random splotches of pixels. Cool that it seemed convincingly random, though!
Again, thanks for playing, hope to see you all next LD!
