I loved the "seeing the contours with falling rain" mechanic, and the rain animations felt very natural.\r\rA single suggestion would be to use another button for the "lightning". Not all browsers "consume" the shift-event, and so hitting shift repeatedly can trigger the "Ease of Access" popup on Windows (tearing the player right out of the experience)."},{"author_name":"remmy","author_uid":"35974","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 12:25pm","epoch":1461068400,"text":"Somnium: thanks!
