Very amusing stuff and good use of the theme! At first I thought I was taking a some kind of behavior test... like I was Pavlov's dog... then I read the instructions.

gaspard_ 2013-08-26 12:26

At first I didnt manage a thing , until I took the lock,
Pretty ironic that taking the lock and staying in a square is better than running around like a freak...

josefnpat 2013-08-26 12:29

Interesting... Sometimes I got :D and sometimes I got |):

timtipgames 2013-08-26 13:42

I was about to write what I had difficulties with but I wont,because the most interesting part of the game for me was to find out how it works. nice game :)

zephyr89 2013-08-26 14:08

Note to self... Read the instructions before doing THAT again.

I like the presentation. But the gameplay was too confusing / fast for me.

acrimiens 2013-08-26 14:44

Worked game, i like it!

gikdew 2013-08-26 15:53

Lot of stuff in the screen, that what makes this game so fun!

headchant 2013-08-26 16:31

simple but fun little game!

leafo 2013-08-26 17:03

Cool visuals

I'm afraid that links are broken

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 16:31

Fixed links! Sorry for the inconvenience D:

shitandson 2013-08-27 16:42

The graphics are really great and the gameplay is pretty good.

doonay21 2013-08-27 17:01

It catches my eye, I like colorful games. Smooth and fun!

cogcomp 2013-08-27 17:02

Really liked the gameplay! Nicely done!

miguelsantirso 2013-08-27 18:29

Wow, so simple and I actually enjoyed it :D Very well adapted to the theme, easy to catch and entertaining. Great job :)

voltorben 2013-08-27 19:01

neat game! I love the colors and the feel of the graphics. nicely done. Could have been cool with maybe a small soundstrack.
Not much lasting appeal, but fun to try out :)
Nice entry!

tobiasw 2013-08-27 19:47

I like the presentation - very good choice of colors and quite artistic. The gameplay fell a bit flat though, and there doesn't seem to be any record of how good you did - the smiley in the end is just where you've been at the end, right? It was still fun trying to stay in the right quadrant though.

The sound is pretty minimalistic, but works well. A bit of music wouldn't have hurt! Generators like http://abundant-music.com make it pretty easy and fast even for musically-challenged people like me, haha.

Congratulations on finishing your first LD entry!

PS: That's not what "picking a lock" means! :P

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 22:01

@TobiasW thanks for the advice!

PS: Corrected! ;)

Pretty game, but not much gameplay.

farfromsleep 2013-08-28 00:56

Fun game with a really pretty, clean style to it. I enjoyed this one.

_alts 2013-08-28 03:16

The flat visual style is quite nice. I do wish that there was a bit more feedback into how I was doing. The face at the end really only seems to reflect where I end up at the end of ten seconds, ignoring all that preceded it.

blackbulletiv 2013-08-28 05:12

The concept was confusing at first, and the character is pretty hard to control. I like the simple, minimalistic graphics though.

mironix 2013-08-28 13:06

I just adore blinking games :) thanks for the submission

mironix 2013-08-28 13:08

Interesting concept, very good mechanics introductions, player learns while failing and does not get flustrated :) i would play this like crazy if i could pickup multiple items and leave them in multiple spaces :)

nddrylliog 2013-08-28 22:00

I.. what? Nice :)

firezenk 2013-08-29 10:20

Interesting idea, good execution and funny made simple. I like it

reaperguy 2013-08-29 13:14

Really like the graphics and the mechanics, but if ound the controls a bit too sensitive.

nerlin 2013-08-29 18:38

I would be great if you add notes about gameplay right in the game. Well done though!

porglezomp 2013-08-30 03:55

A bit confusing at first, but quite interesting! I agree the first comment, I thought it was a behavior experiment.

futuristteletex 2013-08-30 12:13

Nice little game!

lokarunith 2013-08-30 13:46

It was cool, the graphics are nice and the audio despite being simple fits the game perfectly. There is one thing I think that could have been done better: It is kinda fun going from a rectangle to another but that is pointless as in the end what matters is not the time you spent in the right color but if you are in the right rectangle by the last second which means that the best thing to do is wait in the center and at the last second go to the right color or try to catch the lock. What I think that would make things more intresting is awarding score for the time you spend in the right color, more areas with different colors and the lock could be just temporary because after you get it there is no point to the game, it's already won.

p4nurge 2013-08-30 16:17

Fun and stylish but the gameplay could have been a little more varied. I was expecting more levels with a greater choice of boxes and colours. This has potential, though, and could be expanded into something really nice. It certainly has a lovely atmosphere.

finnegan2100 2013-08-30 17:27

Nice little challenge! Max points for innovation!

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-30 19:18

@panurge @Lokarunith thanks for the good advices!

zillix 2013-08-31 17:43

loved the presentation. the visuals and sound were pretty absorbing. great work!

rincewind_cz 2013-09-01 19:35

Nice, it's little confusing even after reading the instructions first, but after I took the lock I got it.

paulsb 2013-09-08 21:06

It looks great and nice sounds too, just feel the game is a bit too slight. There's not much challenge and it's all over very quickly. But the presentation is top notch.

drabiter 2013-09-10 06:51

Nice game. The control is too sensitive but that's okay.
