Nice audio and idea.\r<br\/>I encounterd a moment, where one triangle was outside the playfield (on the right), so I had to wait a moment, before I was able to collect it. Its not tragic, but could be a bit frustrating if a triangle would fly right next to the edge for a long time.\r<br\/>I was thinking &quot;Upgrade my magnet radius&quot;, but the controls were good for me, so didn't have great problems. Well a magnet would have kind of broken the game, because you would end it too quickly.\r<br\/>The RGB idea was cool, but you should either put some green in the upper part of the image or create more levels, because the green seemed to have no effect until I got to the bottom of the playfield."},{"author_name":"pragma","author_uid":"5323","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 8:21am","epoch":1367396160,"text":"It's a good concept.
