I like the concept, and I think it's done pretty well from a programming level. It's a tad annoying that the little white cursor ball doesn't exactly follow your mouse cursor on the dot, and the sfx are a bit grating. Good job on the gameplay, though! The controls feel satisfying.

Super cool! I like how the cut leave traces on the background, the ghosting effect on the cursor and the slow down on the shapes when they get in the middle of the screen. Well done!

A fun twist on the Fruit Ninja idea. I found the controls a little unresponsive to start with, until I realised I could hold down the mouse to make a line and wait for the shape to reach me before letting go. I didn't really see much of the theme in this entry, other than that it included shapes, but the game itself was solid and enjoyable. Good work! :)

Neat idea, and definitely more challenging than it probably looks at first. Reminds me of something I would see on my Amiga 500 back in the day. :-)

The only problem I have is you accidentally drag the mouse cursor outside the screen bounds, the cursor line "sticks" and requires an extra click or two to reset it.

Other than that, nicely done!

Nice mechanic. As other have noted - sometimes feel a slight lag. Would have loved another iteration on this.
