That poor blue dot has so much to live for but it is inevitable it will collide with a red one. I like the mechanic where you can walk through walls and they can't.\n\nSome suggestions:\n+ Displaying what the controls are in the game itself or having a tutorial.\n+ Maybe add in some music\n+ A silly add in could be is if you get the red circles to unite\/stack, count that as points too\n\nThe game is challenging, and games need that.
