Would have liked it to always give me a color I could use so I can't get in a state where I'm just waiting for death.  Have the blocks reaching you be the only losing factor."},{"author_name":"CloudiestNights","author_uid":"20248","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:27am","epoch":1367284920,"text":"Graphics and audio were clean and simple.

It is a thinking game, but I felt that the mechanic wasn't all to fun. That said, you did a good job at bringing the whole idea together, and feel that with some work it could turn out a lot more rounded. Unique twist, but not completely sure a twist I enjoy."},{"author_name":"Kalakian","author_uid":"2609","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 2:43pm","epoch":1367332680,"text":"Great game, fits the theme well.

It's some kind of puzzle game, you have to think to avoid being unable to finish it, yet the cubes just come in, encouraging a faster reaction. So I shot everywhere and didn't think that much, because doing both would be too difficult (or maybe you need some more tutorial levels or a difficulty ramp with several levels).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Yet it is hard to achieve such reflexion in 48h :) And the overall experience is pleasant, the sfx are good.
