i liked the look a whole lot (esp once you go down from the begining), and the way the camera moves. not sure what i was supposed to do, and not sure if this is intentional but it ran unplayably slow for me =(

A really neat idea, although I wasn't able to get very far. After traveling down awhile I got to a sign that says "Jump", but couldn't figure out how to jump out of that area into what appeared to be another area to the right.

I liked the way you used combinations of colors to block in unique ways. The camera was sluggish, making some ares difficult to follow.

Awesome idea, but it did run really slowly, and I'm not sure what the point of the game is.

I also got to the place that said jump but couldn't figure out how to jump through/onto anything there without just falling back down.

Ran with about 1 FPS which made it almost unplayable, but I can tell that the general concept is very promising.

Clever and simple game idea!
Scrolling was a little slow when falling down, but that also increased the calm feeling I got from playing it.

whoa. so, i'm not able to actually play yours because I'm on a mac, BUT.... i think we had almost the exact same concept! Even the graphics look very similar (based on your screen shot). Although, in my game, you CAN move through objects of your color (which I think is opposite of your implementation). Just thought that was funny! Good job!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I knew I had some framerate issues, but didn't realize they were that bad.

After a bit of work, I managed to get the framerate back to where it should have been (it runs 200 times faster now.)

I'm not sure if it's technically allowed, but I uploaded the new version. Let's call it a port to the average computer.

Pretty cool mechanic. I also got stuck at the Jump sign. :[
