### Confusion
- 5 people have mentioned that they're confused by the formation in the top left not being on the grid. They have no idea how to judge the distance and find it frustrating and confusing.
  - I think even just a white background behind it would help with the confusion
- "There should be somewhere that explains how to play it somewhere"
  - The initial message isn't obvious enough and it actually obscures your player, distracting from playing. But, once it's gone, there's no way to figure out how to play. So, if you didn't read it, you're screwed.
  - It would be nice if the instructions persisted

### Bugs
- On mobile, I think there's no way to disable the pixel info after clicking on a pixel

### Long-term enjoyment
- "To me it was a lot of fun, but it just starts to get repetitive, and I'm not sure the best way to increase the complexity in an engaging way. . . . another potential could be environmental effects like maybe wind or gravity. . . . also chat was my first thought, but it might kill the magic. Maybe let people send a chat message if they spend 50 points?" https://websharebox.s3.amazonaws.com/feedback-sms.png
- "I would love to see a more "long term" approach. There's little incentive to stick around for more than a few minutes. Especially once you've seen the run of the configurations. Maybe a progress bar and leveling up?"

### Clarity
- Add a lock icon on top of the player after they lock in so other peole get an idea of what's happening
- A leaderboard would be nice so there's some reason for competing/winning
- Should probably explain "s" lock-in control and how/why to use it
- Allow adding a nickname for yourself so other people can guess who you are
- "Maybe add lock and flash buttons for mobile. Tooltip also kind of got in the way sometimes and might better as a banner at the bottom." - from https://twitter.com/panphora/status/1260374419723227138

### Extra fun
- "There should be a chat - no one knows what's going on"
  - I agree a little chat bubble that comes out of your pixel would be pretty nice :)
