But why would they turn blue when I collided with them after this? Why would some blocks turn yellow when I run into them, but not others? And what was the purpose of standing on the podium and have the crowd gather around and listen to me (or did it not have any significance mechanically)?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall I got how the theme and mechanics related to each other and watching the red blocks push the yellow ones into the prison felt like a powerful moment. The unclarity of the mechanics i mentioned above made the whole experience a bit more confusing than necessary though.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job!"},{"author_name":"g_o","author_uid":"24655","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 11:24am","epoch":1441106340,"text":"Very minimal in its design yet it complements it. Just like in Thomas Was Alone.\r<br\/>Amazing experience, the way you start to feel your power when the red guys do as you say, the way you start punching blue ones for no reason. This is truely well thought and well executed. Brilliant!"},{"author_name":"g_o","author_uid":"24655","time":"Sep 1, 2015 @ 11:28am","epoch":1441106580,"text":"Forgot to mention: I L O V E the AI here.\r<br\/>When you get close to blue ones some get scared and turn into blue within seconds.

This game is an example of how to tell a story with gameplay. The colored cubes were perfect for explaining what was going on without needing to make complex models. The flocking AI was also fantastic.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is the kind of deep game that I wanted to see out of this theme.
