It would have been nice with some added animations when you hit the note blocks.  Some better colour would have been good too.  Maybe some percussion blocks (am I asking for too much), and a bit of polish with timing and controls.  otherwise I thought it was fun and innovative."},{"author_name":"Killswitch","author_uid":"4244","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:04am","epoch":1367207940,"text":"This kind of fun as if I'm playing a combination of DX-Ball and virtual golf."},{"author_name":"unclejunkie","author_uid":"23044","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 7:48am","epoch":1367221380,"text":"Fun and simple, good graphics yet I've experienced a few troubles with palette."},{"author_name":"papa_troll","author_uid":"5168","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:15am","epoch":1367226600,"text":"Nice, simple. Think with more time for careful level design, this could be something special. Something a little less minimal (OK I know that is the theme!) on the music side too might be nice.

The colors looked fine on the monitor I designed on, but I played on another machine this morning and noticed what you all are talking about with the palette. I plan on making this a full game, so I'll definitely be redoing colors first thing!"},{"author_name":"michail","author_uid":"20486","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 1:38pm","epoch":1367242380,"text":"Very funny and pleasant to play! I like your approach to the theme. Only the levels where you have to bounce against circles are a bit frustrating - they are really hard to predict!"},{"author_name":"bummzack","author_uid":"23197","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 1:38pm","epoch":1367242380,"text":"Cool game. The circle-circle collisions are kinda hard to predict though. Combos could make a great addition (additional points if you can hit elements in a &quot;musical&quot; order, or hit the same color multiple times in a row)."},{"author_name":"agmcleod","author_uid":"15813","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:55pm","epoch":1367250600,"text":"Very nice.

Perhaps it would be better if the fastest path to the goal made some sort of intentional melody or something like that?
