Hey Miles! I really enjoyed this clone. When I played the original game I did not know what I was doing, so first off I greatly appreciate the instructions you provided, they let me actually hop in and play.
Getting into the game and I have to say your sprites look amazing! They are very nice recreations of the original game, and beautifully crisp here. I absolutely adore MOUSE, and I think the earthbound fonts work really well here. I also had no problem with any WebGL quirks personally.
This game is tough and frantic and I think you captured that well in your clone (I scored an incredible 47%). The objects spin and cease to spin at the right rate to give it the challenge and stress I found in the original. I enjoyed it more when playing with the WASD controls, so thank you for including that. Overall I’m impressed with the detail and artistry you put into this clone. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for the feedback Jordan! Balancing the speed of the spinning objects was a pretty big concern of mine for the exact reason you hit on. When playing the original, it always felt almost impossible, and so I'm glad to hear that I recreated that feeling for you!
Also it makes me super happy to hear that you liked MOUSE! That's one of the few places that I moved away from the initial game, so I tried my hardest to make something that still fit the original feel :)
Thanks for taking the time to play it and leaving a comment!
