very cool to hear lossy was an inspiration, and to know there's a more accurate version of the same idea out there in the world. and yes that's a totally accurate characterization re: accuracy when it comes to lossy. the loosely-based-on-mp3-ness also lets us be creative with certain engineering constraints, like getting it onto a guitar pedal: https://www.chasebliss.com/lossy

I gotta agree --- on one level (I forget which one) there is a golden egg wearing a hardhat... if you get the golden egg, that egg disappears. But when you restart the level and that egg is gone, the hardhat is still there, sitting in mid-air, as if the golden egg was there too. Then the physics turns on and the hat immediately falls to the ground. Pretty simple case of physics on, physics off.

Who was responsible for that rad new CoffeScript logo / when was it added to the site? Coffee-cup and typography look awesome! (Also, love the language).
