I find it a bit difficult to scroll up/down/left/right, because I constantly overshoot and then it stops scrolling. I then have to move the mouse back and try to find the exact point where it starts scrolling. A bit frustrating after 20 minutes of gameplay. Is there a way in HTML5 to "capture" the mouse within a certain area?

There is the Pointer Lock API [1], but it's still WIP.

You can use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll...

Wow - I didn't even think of trying that, because for some reason I figured that the original game could only scroll using the mouse. So much for presumptions...

Someone specifically requested the feature on the issue tracker, and since it was a one line tweak, I added it in :)
