My first reaction was the same as you, that the gap penalty is way too big relative to the mismatch penalty.

Okay, it works for me today. My Firefox downloaded an automatic update, so not sure if that had anything to do with it or if something got fixed.

well, I guess I’m at least getting the site to WORK, but the scoring is completely incomprehensible. So far, I get the best score always by just mashing the sequences all together, and finding matches just doesn’t seem to be the point. So… I got bored super quickly.

@johnbot — what browser setup are you using? It has been working fine for me also, on Firefox.

Same here, not working in either Firefox or MSIE with Adobe Flash Player 10. Too bad; sounds really interesting and I’d like to try it – hope the developers are reading this so they can fix it!

It doesn’t work for me, it shows a blank screen (no music) when I click on “play”. Doesn’t matter which browser I use (Mozilla, Google Chrome), and the entire site will not display using Internet Explorer.

I couldn’t register; it’d hang when I clicked OK to register my username/password.
I also couldn’t play the game as a guest; I’d get a blank screen (with music) after choosing which variant I wanted to play. I tried from multiple PCs and multiple browsers.
