Solid entry. The atmosphere is indeed great. Played it a bit before the deadline and tried it again now after the new patch, with the new UI and gameplay changes it feels much better. I could not beat the top guy's 1:09 time but I had lots of fun while trying to do so.
One small note regarding the leaderboard is that it seems to add a new entry after refreshing the browser even when entering the same name instead of updating an identical existing one on better score, which ends up clogging the leaderboard, especially when we keep refreshing on bad starts. Not that big of an issue though since the focus is on main mechanics and they are very well implemented.
Pretty good overall. Well done!
