The graphics make my graphic designer inside me cry from the beauty, and the sound is superb. My only, ONLY suggestion is maybe start the timer after the player first clicks because I loaded up the game and before I had time to move the mouse in the proper window area, the timer was already ticking past 5 seconds... but then again, that's really more of personal problem I guess."},{"author_name":"andrewkschwartz","author_uid":"51251","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 6:12am","epoch":1429596420,"text":"Could not get the game to play, no idea why.

I finished it in 5:31 and 422 clicks. The graphics are very well done, with the particles and the shake effects adding to the experience. However I find it not very much challenging, in the sense that there is nothing that avoids you achieving the goal easily. Maybe you could add a restricting dynamic, like number of clicks or something else which makes it more competitive. Otherwise you could change the audio effects to more relaxing ones and this would be quite a zen-like game. Great work!"},{"author_name":"gnx","author_uid":"8333","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 8:15pm","epoch":1429647000,"text":"Really good production values here.

Awesome scanline filter and excellent screenshake and particles. Audio is flawless too. But there's no substance to the gameplay at all. Even if you're going for minimal time\/clicks, it would basically just be an exercise in memorization.

Tons of polish and tons of juice. There are some very interesting mechanics. I love the art style and the music is fantastic. It also controls very nicely! \r\rI would say that the only thing it's really lacking is some sort of challenge other than trying to get the least amount of time and clicks. Some ideas to add some challenge: 1) Player only gets a certain number of warps per level. That could vary per level and give it kind of puzzle feel. 2) Put things in the game that when you hit them, you have to restart the level. Perhaps those could move and you have to dodge them or move carefully. 3) Each block gives you some points but getting more blocks with one charge builds up a combo multiplier which would allow you to get a better score. \r\rThose are just some ideas that came to mind. Overall, this was a very good entry and extremely polished.
