Seems an easy way to play for a long time is to eliminate all of one shape, become that eliminated shape, and then you can just maintain the balance between the two remaining shapes without ever having to changing form again.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd recommend not allowing the player to become\/remain in the form of an eliminated shape."},{"author_name":"Sir Magic","author_uid":"60076","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 8:49pm","epoch":1461185040,"text":"I found it difficult but I loved how the music changes to the shape you are."},{"author_name":"Freank","author_uid":"94168","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 4:50pm","epoch":1461257100,"text":"Hi, nice game !

It's really fun once you understand what you need to do and keep a balance, but I think the shape overtaking is wayyy too fast.
