I wonder if you could put the canvas/flashlight controls in a fixed corner of the page (instead of inline as you scroll up & down). Fixed, omnipresent controls would be more video game like.
Yes, good idea. For the purpose of this article I want the reader to encounter the features as I talk about them, but for other applications I would fix the controls.
Plus, inlined controls add to the suspense -- you might truly get lost in the dark! And breathe a sigh of relief when you find the button again :)
