Cool concept and really pretty to look at. It took me a while to figure out that the x-coordinate of your mouse cursor controlled your color, though, so maybe you could spell it out explicitly in the game for people too lazy to read the description.

Interesting game, minimalistic to be sure. Yeah, I didn't realize that you had to move your mouse horizontally to change the color either, directions could use some work. Definitely an interesting game, though, good job.

It's so pretty!

Although I figured out pretty quickly that it's a perfectly viable strategy just to spam the heck out of clicking everywhere. There doesn't seem to be any limiting factor. Perhaps a limit on number of bullets or negative points (which would require more in the way of points) for firing too much?

really cool, would love to see this as a full game one day!
I didn't realise the x colour thing as well ad the enemy stopped firing back at about level 10. Apart from that really great.

Very interesting control screen, and as mentioned above I just started spamming until it got to the point that I couldn't tel what was going on. Still really great job.

Fun to look at, I enjoyed mashing my mouse button just to see a bunch of colours !

As others have pointed out, this looks great! :D The subtly different background adds a lot.

Lovely, lovely. Like double rainbow.

Very pretty. And love the little melodies that it ends up spelling it. Awesome job!

Absolutely gorgeous looking game. I love the simplicity of the concept, yet complexity of the gameplay. It was pretty difficult for me, but I enjoyed it regardless. I wasn't a fan of the audio, but I think it sufficed regardless. Great entry!

Very nice simple and minimalistic, yet rewarding gameplay. Cool stuff!

Beautiful looking game, although it also took me a while to realize what I was supposed to do. I also found I could get quite far by spamming lots of each colour, which got boring after a short while.

This is very cool! The first play I didn't understand how to change my color, but the next time I got it and felt that it was a good puzzle. Nice instructions screen. The procedural music sounds great, and the concept is very creative. One flaw is that there doesn't seem to be any disadvantage to shooting loads of squares all of the time of various different colors. So mostly when I played I just did that.
High score: L6 160 points!

Very pretty to look at! I also didn't exactly realize how i was change my color (players don't read haha ._.) I guess maybe some ui or arrows next to the cursor to show how the color is changing?

very pretty!

This game's a nice one. Graphics are great, Sounds are ok. The only problem is that you can just rapidly click while moving your mouse up and down and left and right (like a sine wave or something) and it would just spit out an impenetrable wall of colour and you'll pretty much just go on forever.

Would make a very fun multiplayer game. Good work. :)

My best was Level 7, 269 points - it took me a little bit to get the concept (the help was too abstract for me) but once I did, it was fun. Nice, simple idea, implemented well.
