The gameplay is quite simplistic, and I can't say it matches the theme well: nothing happens _every_ 10 seconds, it's just that you have 10 seconds to win. The game also felt a little bit unfair - after some failures there's no way you could reach the failure point again in 10 seconds.

The best score I got was 18. My only constructive criticism is that it was a little difficult at first to tell what color was what. Some of that may be my monitor, but I would have liked those colors to be a little brighter, maybe have a colored glow effect around them as well? Anyway the environment art is beautiful and you put together a nice little game! Could see this being expanded - what if the ship moved vertical? Maybe it moves on a winding path?

It's tons of fun, and you don't lose your vision, you get other people's vision + yours, which is usually better than yours alone! The ambience of your game was great, although I found the gameplay quite frustrating. Especially because I couldn't tell the colours of the beacons apart very well, and you had to be fairly precise with the drops. Also, there was a lot of waiting around for the ship to get places, which I found boring. It already barely matches the theme, just ignore the theme and just restart right away when you miss one!
