The idea's interesting though, you can definitely get into it once you figure it out. Maybe it would help if you made your cursor a small version of whatever shape you had currently active instead of a background color? And maybe start off with one shape and add others a few seconds at a time to ease the player into the game and then tell them how to switch one at a time."},{"author_name":"nddrylliog","author_uid":"4598","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 6:02pm","epoch":1367431020,"text":"Had a lot of fun with this game! It's a very very good first entry - you kept it simple and got execution just right.\r\rTook a little bit of learning time to not have to look at the control cheat sheet every time, but eventually I figured the logic.. triangle points up, square is down, and pentagons have red\/blue colors for right\/left.\r\rI'm really impressed in how balanced you've seem to have kept this LD. I always have scope problems (want to do a game that's too big) but you didn't fall into that trap, which is really really good."},{"author_name":"Bloated Hippo","author_uid":"21024","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 6:11pm","epoch":1367431560,"text":"Thanks everyone for the comments\/suggestions\/feedback.\r\rI will implement a intro\/directions screen to fix two problems with one solution (clicking in swf and having to read directions outside of game)\r\rAlso someone else mention dvorak support which I'll do too.\r\rAnd I'm going to add a "shadow" shape to indicate where something will spawn so that you have time to react and move away without it revealing what shape it will be. Either that or make shapes not spawn on player which I know can be annoying."},{"author_name":"dreamlogician","author_uid":"23224","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 8:17pm","epoch":1367439120,"text":"This is strangely hypnotic.

This would have been worth my 99 cent download on the App Store as-is, I definitely played it a few times. I got up to.... 37 I think as my top score.
