That's fun! It runs pretty fast, though. You might want to have it start a bit slower.

You should also use requestAnimationFrame instead of setInterval.

Might also be nice to have a 'Start Game' button--I clicked the link and then got a dialog about losing. Blocks on the edges are also a little hard to get at. Nice job! Fun too. :)

These are the two things I would suggest, too.

Perhaps some instructions would help. I'm on a pad and lost 4 times in a row with no idea what I'm supposed to do. Tapping the "field of play" seems to have no effect.
