My best try was 3:53 :) Nice idea how you get rid of too much objects at the screen. The startingScreen gfx looks nice... A little bit more gfx to the dots would have been nice, and a few soundFX too. But I like short and challenging games a lot... with my mouse at home i should have better scores ;)"},{"author_name":"anokta","author_uid":"13553","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 10:08pm","epoch":1418076180,"text":"i really like the idea, while secretly wishing for collisions between the dots. :) also, imo it would be more challenging if the life bar was much lower. keep up the good work! :)"},{"author_name":"GeeItSomeLaldy","author_uid":"40246","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 10:17pm","epoch":1418076720,"text":"Simple concept done really well."},{"author_name":"Dir3kt","author_uid":"12434","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:14pm","epoch":1418141340,"text":"Hey I want to play it on a touch screen!"},{"author_name":"alpha_rat","author_uid":"39704","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:28pm","epoch":1418160180,"text":"Very simple and effective mechanic, the graphics and sounds are a bit rough though\r<br\/>When I had some dots going out of the screen, they just kept spamming, nothing particular happened"},{"author_name":"ruthiepee","author_uid":"36556","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 10:35pm","epoch":1418164200,"text":"Time: 4:29.

Oh dang, this is great game mechanic.  Needs a bit of polish. Also maybe a little tricky early on - not to lose but to let some dots off.  Good job!"},{"author_name":"Fera","author_uid":"32387","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 11:55pm","epoch":1418514600,"text":"thank you all for that feedback. :D\r<br\/>yes, i srsly consider to develop a touch-version."},{"author_name":"01rafael","author_uid":"11984","time":"Dec 14, 2014 @ 9:00pm","epoch":1418590500,"text":"I'm not sure that I'm dig in gameplay.
