\nPressing R just resets the current game, where there is a very simple path to the end.
\nAs I said, its an interesting concept, one that could totally be expanded, especially given the small size of the code.

\nHowever, when it comes to luck in the game, there seems to be no luck at all as we play on the same level on which you can basically win by pressing 9 and then R all the time.
\nTo me it seems as the game was planned out (as we see in the description), but was never properly finished.

I was hoping the numbers would rotate.\nThe point of the game is also not really clear. 100 luck is a really big and arbitrary number so I feel nothing when loosing or gaining it.

\nI think getting the clouds to change on each rotation would be good, maybe add some animation to the cat as it moves.
\nPressing 8 for me led to the game instantly being won with a single jump, infact holding down any of the number keys always led to a win very quickly. Perhaps adding an element of randomness for each start of the game would make it more challenging.

\nThe description of the game seems to imply that I should get many different random clouds, but I get always the same clouds in the same colors. What are the checkpoints? It seems like I always win as long as I land on cloud number zero? If I just press “8” i immediately win with 92 points. I must be missing something here.

Also you should call .preventDefault() on keyboard events. I have “search as you type” enabled in my browser, so when I press any key to move, the search bar shows up.
☁️ I only got a circle with 8 clouds, always in the same configuration. The idea on the presentation page sounded really cool — a bit like a board game / game of the goose — but I couldn’t really find that concept in the actual gameplay. A pity, because the idea had a lot of potential!\nLike others, I always finish with 92 points, even if I don’t use all purple clouds

Other than that, there wasn’t much of a game; you only got a configuration to test, or maybe add some instructions (I pressed “I” as said in the decription but didn’t see anything). Good luck!
