Nice title.
Your links are all pointing to the source zip. You really should at least fix the web link to point to your game instead of relying on the description
Hint: Only link your index.html to allow us to play directly on our webpage ;). Couldn't play it when I downloaded it :S.
A very interesting game mechanic - probably the most innovative from the games I've already played. I love the simple idea of combining an endless runner, so to speak, with a color matcher. You have one simple idea that is easy to pick up and generates the whole gameplay - a perfectly minimal game mechanic, in other words. Once I got the hang of it - which didn't take long - it was a thoroughly enjoyable game. I found myself trying to stay ahead, to have time to correct my course whenever a change of route appeared.
One minor complaint about the gameplay is that it's not clear when to switch the prism's front color on time, when changing tile colors - but luckily, there're enough green tiles to do that.
The game runs very smoothly, and the many colours are surprisingly not straining the eye. The music used also fits the game well. The controls are responsive and the level is generated with enough diversity to keep things interesting.
All in all, a good game fitting the "Minimalism" theme, with a very innovative gameplay mechanic. We all need fresh ideas, and this is a well implemented one.
@Frosnite: You must first extract the zip files - it worked for me after that.
Nice music, if I had one criticism to make it would be that there should be a tutorial of some kind as I was struggling to understand the rules at first. Good attempt though
Interesting concept, it took me a minute to figure out what was going on, but other then that, pretty cool :)
