Hi Jonathan, I'm the author of the article and I definitely agree with you. At the time of my writing of this article I had just begun creating puzzle games myself and I just tried to pull together all I could find on the topic.

I stepped away from all this for awhile now to actually create instead of just doing research and found that many of my initial ideas were flawed. What you mentioned is incredibly insightful and I hope you'd allow me to directly quote you and edit my post so that others who visit will be able to better understand the whole scary but wonderful process of puzzle game design.

Goes without saying, but I am a huge fan of your work and you as a person so I'm incredibly honored by your response. That said, I hope that I have not mistakenly misdirected the audience by putting words into your mouth in the form of advice. Please let me know if there are other portions of this that you find incorrect.

Either way, thank you for all you've done!

Hey Chris. Love the posts. Lots of insight.

A bit offtopic, but could you remove the fixed widths of your #content (.baby-container) at screen width below 767px ? 300 pixels is just too narrow for the content. Maybe set width to auto and set margin to 15px for a better responsive experience? :)

Yes! I am pretty inexperienced with web dev so I just changed the theme entirely but I really hope its better for anyone on their mobile phones now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
