Hello there!
The different colored squares making different notes was a really nice idea.

:) Thank you very much! That made me very happy.

Pretty good game. I didn't even notice the sound thing until I read Fabien's comment. That was a nice touch. Good game.

I really enjoyed it. Love the idea of the sounds/music.

It would have been nice to have a few (three?) difficulties which are actual well known, but simple, yet increasingly more difficult songs. I would also like an end screen to pause and see what I've accomplished rather than the feeling that it didn't matter and back to the next game.

Maybe I'm just proud of my 3010 pts! :)

Good job.

Simple and familiar gameplay, but it worked well! And I quite enjoyed the squares playing different notes as they passed by, would be interesting if you could work that into the gameplay somehow.

Really interesting concept and the gameplay is fiendishly addictive. Making the squares play different notes when they fly past the screen was quite brilliant.

Nice game, and as minimalistic as they get :) The control is smooth and the action fast without becoming frantic. I like the sort of old-schoolish feeling you get by being kept on your toes by a game.

My own game is quite similar in concept to yours. In fact, I think the old theory about there being dragons beyond the rim of the world is false: I think all those colored squares of yours go to my game when they disappear through the left edge of the screen, and viceversa! :D

Best score so far: 3393 points

Simple yet fun.

I'm on a Mac. Sorry :(

If you download the source, you can open it through gamemaker and I think port it to mac. I don't have a mac, so I can't, but I think that's how it works.

I only got 1229 but it was a lot of fun :)

1303! A minimalist Jetpack Joyride, well done! This works quite well but the randomness sometimes make it too hard, this would become even better with some "level design" (with the added bonus that you could compose a music score ;) ).

Nice skill-game. The mechanic was simple, but it fit very well. At first I thought, the background music was annoying until I realized, it were the squares, triggering the sounds, which is a very cool idea.

You can try adding a load mp3 or something and scan for frequencies :) whatever song - different level. Would be nice to experiment. Good job

Very good, simple game that really fits the theme! Nice work!
