Hey! I've been playing around a bit with this and your previous particle projects you've released. I just need to say how really dang interesting they are!

Of course, my first question is if it's possible to turn this into a full game? Again, the idea is really interesting and I like this a lot! Other than that, can you please implement a way to save levels? It would be nice to just turn the browser off and when you return the levels are there for you to be played or further edited.

Thanks, and cheers to the lovely particles!

Thanks for playing! I've been thinking about both ideas and I really want to be able to do both. I want to be add some sort of save level feature before turning this into a game. Once I do I'll ask friends to design some levels and send them to me because I'm terrible and level design lol. I don't think I'll be able to make something that saves and then automatically loads levels, but I can probably make something that produces a series of numbers and characters that you can save as a text file and that can be loaded by copy/pasting the code into a text box.

While I'm working on that , I'm also planning on doing some research on level design so hopefully I can make a full game out of this. Thanks for the feedback and thanks again for playing this game!

I've finally added the ability to load/save levels! Sorry for taking so long. I kinda got distracted by a few other projects I ended up working on.

If you make any good levels, please send them to me! I'm sure they'll be fun to play.

press O to open the save/load screen.

Heeeeey! Cheers to that! And no worries for taking so long, I've been quite busy myself, heh.
