At first I thought the game could be a bit more forgiving with the shape placement, but now I can imagine that it is fine the way it is. Maybe just add an indicator where the shape did not fit when you lose."},{"author_name":"karln","author_uid":"57004","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 8:39pm","epoch":1461011640,"text":"Nothing seems to happen when I run the exe.

The game is pretty well polished, the audio is suiting, so overall pretty good!

And then when i did I wasn't able to do it properly because I never knew how much time i had left before hitting the shape. I'm sorry I wasn't able to enjoy the game. Maybe with a little bit more feedback it could really be a cool game !"},{"author_name":"neilcorre2k6","author_uid":"49082","time":"May 1, 2016 @ 2:54pm","epoch":1462114140,"text":"cool game :)"},{"author_name":"DrPetter","author_uid":"10","time":"May 1, 2016 @ 5:11pm","epoch":1462122360,"text":"Music definitely works. I could imagine it being integrated even more with some disco-like flashing or other graphics that builds on the mood and also distracts you from the shape-matching task. Probably the difficulty progression could ramp up more gradually, making it really easy and relaxing in the beginning so you can just enjoy yourself, and after a minute or two it starts getting more hairy. The "holes" (which feel more like objects, maybe they should show a pattern\/background inside?) might even have more funky movement than a straight line to make it interesting. Could be an alternative to create challenge balanced with the boundary tightness, so weirdly moving larger holes are similarly difficult as small ones with a predictable path.\r\rOh, the huge level\/score splash screen isn't very rewarding. I'd prefer something less jarring which keeps a sense of the playfield while you prepare for the next match."},{"author_name":"conno1234","author_uid":"34006","time":"May 1, 2016 @ 5:27pm","epoch":1462123320,"text":"Pretty hard game but great adaptation of the theme and I loved the audio!"},{"author_name":"BSODDevTeam","author_uid":"44628","time":"May 1, 2016 @ 5:49pm","epoch":1462124640,"text":"Nice little game.
