Thank you for the feedback! This is really helpful. I tried turning on fullscreen mode for the game on the engine and itch, but the game ended up being an even smaller window for some odd reason. I opted to just work with the minimized version so the page remained symmetrical.
The other fork would follow moves that you previously made up to a limit (specified at the top), and you don’t have to hold it down to make the move, it captures 1 key press every second, which is admittedly slow. I could have definitely sped that up to at least half a second.
And being able to press down/up when there isn’t a ladder above/below you is an unintended bug that I just now realized :(
