That was a lot of levels.  \nRequiring the exact number to break the walls was an interesting idea the could have been explored more.  \nThe target zone in level 14 is much smaller than the light green area indicates which made that one tricky.  \nIt's generally best to avoid using ctrl and escape when targeting html5 as all browsers will have issues with them. I ran into the ctrl+w problem on my game too.
