Unless I just didn't get to most of it, to me it was just a very slow fade in to white which leaves a square you must then click. I didn't see any noticeable change after a few clicks and I'd had enough. Is there any challenge to speak of? And again, the slow fade became tedious as I waited for a white square to show up.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sadly, the actual game here is pretty much non-existent and the graphics don't pop with style, so it basically just leaves the pleasant acoustic tune."},{"author_name":"Xeke_Death","author_uid":"19338","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 8:32am","epoch":1367310420,"text":"@Cybearg: The initial game mode is exactly what you describe, as I was keeping it minimal, keeping to a single mechanic (click on the square when you see it). If you don't want to wait for the next white screen, add black shapes too. If that is still too long, change to fast mode. If you want a challenge, try White and Black shapes, Survival mode, Click and Speed hardcore, and moving.\r<br\/>The aim is simply to see how high a score you can get, the same as your game."},{"author_name":"MaxSzlagor","author_uid":"22483","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 4:10am","epoch":1367381100,"text":"Nice take on the theme.
