A\/D and left\/right switch its position and W\/S and up\/down move it inwards or outwards, respectively.\nI'm not sure if this game has a goal or is just a small tool to make interesting shapes. The name seems to suggest  a goal, but I didn't manage to do anything to progress the game. I did play around with the shapes for a couple of minutes though :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"extar","author_uid":"1220764","time":"2020-10-07T12:23:32Z","epoch":1602073412,"modified":1602073412,"text":"I'm not sure what\/or if there is anything to do on this.

I've shown the correct file now and it should be more clear. Also I've added a description :smile:  It is local multiplayer though so if you have time and a friend maybe you can try it again.

Great idea that required a simple execution, reeeeally nice job. I just think that since the game is quite simple, some extra work could be put on the audio department and the graphics could use some extra work to make it more appealing and less linear transition (maybe a little bit of tweening to add some bounce to the animations and create a looping background to get rid of the tiresome white).
