Really nice but painful to play without a [xbox?] controller =/

This is totally unplayable without an xbox controller :(. Which is not a bad thing of course, I'm just sad I can't really play it. Only rating graphics and music, and both are great! :)

Awesome ! I think I will just sit here and waiting for an XBLA version ... :)

We're Ok with you. This game is clearly not convenient to use without Xbox controller(s).

We hope for an Xbox version to come out soon :D.

Nice One :)

This has some wicked cool graphics and audio, but like the others, I'll probably refrain from playing it without Xbox controller. :(

I really want to try this game, I cant even install it (a lot of files are missing, and I have XNA installed)...
where is the source code?

cant play( application unexpectedly closes...

Very hard, even with a XBOX controller :(

Great game! Had chance to play it on my controller, good job! :D

This is cool, i keep forgetting which button corresponds to which color (even with xbox controller), i need more practice. It can be really trippy when i manage to match colors for some time.

Man, I feel for you reading all these comments, because this is the best entry I've played so far. Really enjoyed it. I couldn't play it with a 360 controller or keyboard, so I went downstairs and grabbed a Guitar Hero controller and rigged it up with Joy2Key, recorded it here:

The GUI is slick, the graphics are beautiful and the premise is great. The music could be better suited to a rhythm game and it's a bit annoying when a white wall appears and fills the whole area so it's impossible to get through, but those are minor things. If you ever make a longer version of this, tweet me, because I will totally play it.

Giving you a sea of 5*s.

Very good idea. Awesome job with the menu and the different game options: single, multi, tutorial. However, there is still work on game design. You should try to make the progressive game and put a score. Currently we do not fully realize if we lose or if we win.

The idea is nice, but the game is very hard and quite frustrating. Sometimes, I felt like walls were randomly appearing and breaking any possibility for me to continue. Also, some variety in the circles patterns would make the game less "mechanic", along with some feedbacks on score. I don't get what's the difference between the tutorial and the arcade mode. Last thing, the controls felt super awkward for me, I always wanted to use "left & right" instead of "up & down", but that's more personnal.

Apart from that, as I said I enjoyed the idea :) and the game is working and visually appealing. Good job !

I dont understand how to play with keyboard and mouse...

twelveplusplus 2013-05-13 20:22

i couldn't fully play this game... couldn't get the keyboard changing colors to work for some reason.. don't have an xbox controller, unfortunately. ..

i get it though... i like the game. good work.

Nice one :D a game I think I'll actually try playing again later when I have a friend to spare.
You might turn a few people off with the need for an XBox controller the fact that XNA needs to be installed though (not to mention the fact that it doesn't run on Linux... automatic -100 points!)
