I really like the fact that the ball gets faster if one repeatedly hits the right colored surface. Makes for a fun challenge based of simple rules. :)

By the way, I found a nice bug. While being a triangle rapid turning can make the ball go out of bounds. This interestingly resets the timer. Here's getting to 100 points while keeping the timer at 60s: https://youtu.be/oz7qYsITu4o :D

Hard as hell but superbly enjoyable!I like how it speeds up, and the "ring" changes shape. Sometimes the ball would break out, but I loved it! Good job :)

This is fantastic! Not the most colorblind friendly, but great replayability, great amount of challenge, and themes! Very chillax ;)

Simple graphics which kept focus on the gameplay. Nice relaxed audio which fit the gameplay and visuals. Easy to understand concept, I could figure out how to play without reading any instructions. I didn't like the mouse controls, but when I tried using arrows it worked which I appreciate. Lower score in theme because while it had shapeshifting I felt like it wasn't really integral to the game theme or gameplay to any greater extent.

One thing that was a little annoying was that if you rotated the walls while the ball was hitting it the ball would sort of get stuck and wouldn't bounce off until you stopped spinning the walls, which kinda ruined the gamefeel a bit.

Hard, but nice little game!

I'd prefer different controls though. I'd make cursor visible and make it so that shape rotation is based on how the cursor is placed relative to the center.

Nicely done with good audio to match. Rotation speed could have been a bit slower as I can spin the thing around at light speed with even small mouse movements. Good!

Nice minimalistic game. Annoying when the cursor goes outside the window though

Really fun! This would be a game I would definitely play on my android device. Fantastic!

Very pleasant. I enjoyed the sound effects, though I will say a light touch (something I definitely do not possess) is required to get that ball hitting the right side.
