				X Grid

				I'm a noob and this is my first game. Most of the code is jQuery. It's just a simple, casual numbers game. Not exactly my favorite type of game, but it's what I'm able to create so far. I'm currently studying web development, and I'm still learning my chops, though I would love to take on more ambitious projects in the future.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

				I quiet like it, it would be great with some nicer animated art, but even like that it works quiet well.

				Very nice! The presentation is great, particularly how the interface teaches you when you make wrong moves. Good work!

				Found some negative scores on the socreboard. Not sure who left them, but if that was someone from this board, thanks for pointing that out! I think I got it fixed now so that you need to at least score 1 point to receive the "enter your name" prompt in the first place.

				I added some music and sound effects using a jQuery plugin called Soundmanager 2. Seems to work relatively well on desktop, but for some reason it's a little wonky on mobile. Every sound seems to cancel out the previous one (even a simple sound effect cancels the bg music). Doesn't do it on desktop, only mobile.
Anyone particularly familiar with Soundmanager 2?

				This is pretty great for a first game, man! The sound effects are definitely a nice touch.

				Very nice work!
And sadly, browser-based sound is and will be wonky on mobile browsers for some time. Most of the HTML5 game-to-mobile conversion engines run the game in a native wrapper to get sound to work because it just doesn't work right on mobile in the browser. Most HTML5 game engines offer an option to detect if it is being run on mobile simply to disable all sound.
