New version, improved steps system

Cosmo Steps
A browser game made in HTML5

Hello, 

I've updated Cosmo Steps to improve on the "steps/moves" system that was introduced. After player feedback I noticed that some people died without knowing why (they run out of steps) so it was obvious I need to make this more clear. 

To make it more clear I added the following things, please let me know if this has improved it: 

  • Green tiles cost no steps, Blue tiles "cost" steps to traverse
  • Stepping on Blue tiles gives a momentary "Billy Jean" glow on the tile
  • Low steps now gives a screen flash to let you know somethings going on
  • Also in this update I fixed the custom font. It should show up now instead of defaulting to a regular font. 

In future updates I plan to animate the hud steps counter, maybe flash or blink at certain points to draw attention.  Any ideas on what to improve are welcome! 

Thanks! 
Chris
