Thumbs up!
Love that you are making the music, had that thought myself but didn't get to it, more of that! Maybe with some percussion or background instruments being added along the way.
really cool mood!
Hard at the begin, be we learn really fast.
my best: 149
The only criticism I can come up with is that the shapes sometimes overlap and spike up the difficulty, as it becomes hard to see which one is coming first.
A really nice little game once you get used to the controls and steeply increasing difficulty (very nice work with the "tutorial" in the beginning, it really helps getting along ;D)
Graphics are quite nice and the idea of making the music is good, but would be even better if there'd be some sort of percussions or subtle instrument tracks joining along with the game's progress.
It was a little too easy though, I stopped playing without losing :P
Would like to see it with some sort of predefined music.
The only negative aspect in my opinion is the rather steep learning curve. A tutorial that introduced every key separately would've been a more user friendly introduction.
I loved the way it changed shapes. Great execution of simple graphics.
Also, you should share your source code since you are in compo. I am really interested in how you made the shapeshifting look so smooth.
@BoltKey the link to the code was in the description but I added it to the links section too to make it easier to spot.
The shapeshifting is really simple: I modelled all four shapes in 3D using the same amount of vertices. Then I just interpolate using the Mesh API in Unity.
In the end it kind of sound like it's music when the shapes are coming quicker.
Sometimes I get small sequences that repeat creating some patterns in waves. Did you do that or it's just coincidence?
Congrats!

It was a little hard to remember the controls at first, but that's because my mind was trying to relate it to xbox controller colors (which it was close to with just the red and yellow being switched). After I got used to it though, I played it for quite a bit.
Great work!
My highscore is 97 :D
I think it would be fun to just play forever, but the ninja death shapes that come in around 150 are just too fast. It might be nice if there was a more gradual increase in difficulty.
Nice entry, I scored 79 at my best!
When I was desperately trying to decide what game I was going to make, one of the things I had in mind was exactly this mechanic - however I have to say you really nailed it far better than I would have! I wouldn't have thought to make it so hypnotic and atmospheric. I really enjoyed playing.
After a first game with a miserable 2 or 3 points, I scored 139 on the second :)
Also very good colors and sounds, they bot make such a zen experience
Keep up the good work!
Could be extended with a focus on music.
For some reason it looked like, as I was prepared to accept a circle, a diamond suddenly rushed at insane speed and ended the game. O.o'
I quite enjoyed it. It's essentially a variation on the shape-gate endless runner, but it's one of the few games that does it right, not making player do some micromovements to fit into the slot or whatever; just changing the shape accordingly. Different sounds for crossing different shapes was a nice touch, too. Nice game to play for a little bit.
I love it.
I'm hooked.
