This is a great song! Not being able to undo makes game-play frustrating. Also, I couldn't figure out how to restart without refreshing the page. The mechanic sure was interesting though.
You should be able to erase your lines with the middle mouse button just like you add them. It shows it in the tutorial, but I'll add that info too the page as well.
Nothing to do with the theme, but I've played this puzzle before and I always enjoy it. The mouse controls need some work. Middle click feels weird to erase lines.
@inurashii: why does this upset you so much? I made a game in 48 hours, and since the change in voting, I can removing the theme from the equation. Isn't this supposed to be a celebration of indie game development more than a real competition?

It's intriguing and a pretty intelligent puzzle but it doesn't fit the theme at all.
I'm not saying you don't deserve to feel good about having implemented someone else's puzzle game in a new format, I'm saying that you could and should have done it elsewhere ... or at the very least, in the jam, where the theme is not mandatory.
@inurashii: They need to update the main rules page, then. http://ludumdare.com/compo/rules/ doesn't specify the requirement of the theme. Either that or have it as one of the checkboxes for entering a game in the compo. I had a good 9 hours left when I submitted and had plenty of time to "fit my game to the theme;" I could have easily been able to do so, but didn't see the need since everything I had seen (for the 6+ compos I have entered) didn't have it explicitly stated.
All right. I'm not here to get you disqualified or anything, but I didn't think this was a good compo entry and wanted to say something.
I don't feel that a bog-standard port of an internationally acclaimed puzzle game is in the spirit of LD, especially since you don't say anywhere in your game description that you did not invent this puzzle.
That having been said, I'll leave you alone going forward. Good luck to you.
