Score:396 ;)
Very impressive as a first game, congrats ;)
I enjoyed it, very nice particle effects, and the effects were pretty funny too! The changing gameplay kept it interesting. Could do with some background music or sounds, I thought, though.
Thanks for making it ;)

This style game was the first ever game I made. :)
@Ciaran54 : Thank you really much :)
For the music, I'm quite sorry but I was a bit shot on time, I thought about looping the game music, but you have no idea how it would make the player go crazy after the fifth time (trust me I tried it on my brother haha). So yeah, I should have made a longer soundtrack :)

Was gonna say the game needs audio until I got to the part where you actually hate the audio lol
The changes are nice, and liked the gameplay but in the end I was bored.

Great game ! But you stop music after 10sec and it's a little bit annoying.
577! Great job on your first game! The effects did a superb job of distracting me, as I'm certain they were intended to. Great job on the music as well. It was a nice touch.

I think its too simple and I can not see anything original in it. But its definitely playable! Cg on your first game!!
Cool game. Great game that it is your first. I really liked the change of game play every 10 seconds. Fun!!
Score of 1011. Congratulations, your game made me feel proud of myself. :P
It really is kind of cool for what it is. In the beginning I was slightly underwhelmed (the title made me expect something different than a simple dodge game I guess), but I like how it just went completely insane on the effects side after a while. It was so disorienting that after a while I was almost sure everything was rotating. Still a little dizzy.. :D
Excellent first LD attempt!

Score: 626, I enjoyed that quite a bit, would have one good with "Random powerups" too ;D Had myself laughing everytime it would randomly play that fruity music haha, well done!

Pretty good game. Congrats :)
I actually had a ton of fun, and i loved the randomness that was added every 10 seconds! Would be cool to see a fully fleshed out version with more random effects :D

More Music! Hehe made me laugh. I actually went into this with not high expectations but it's a pretty nice game. The 10 second aspect you have has that "1 more turn" feel to it.

quite nice game. and extra point for beign your first game :D i'll not penalize you for the absence of music thinghy, since my first game was mute xD
Great game! Nice work :)
Nice work, the small burst of music mid-game is kind of weird though, I think the music should play throughout the whole game so there's not this weird dead air thing going on. Loving the fire particles - especially how they sway with the wind!
Nice job, I enjoyed playing it.

At first I was like "meh, another 'dodge for 10 seconds'" but when I started playing, I didn't want it to end :) Good job.

more music ! more colors ! that was pretty funny
The player looks like a beak-less penguin more than a human or a blob, and I find it quite cute! Nice game!

Score: 429;
Very nice work!!!
I love the sounds and the visuals were very good!
The particle effects were very nice too.
I think it would have made the game a bit better if certain things went away after the next thing was added. I.e MORE COLOURS. Hahah. Awesome work. especially for a first game!
8/10! Keep it up man! I would love to see more from you. (Did you study programming at university or was this all self taught? Thanks!)
@MrBlade I currently am starting my second year of university, but most of the game programming was self taught (they don't teach you how to make video games at university haha). For your more color problem, I'm pretty sure I fixed that o.o After the first time you see "more color", it will never come back and be replaced by "CHAOS!", which practically increased everything.
Thank you anyway for your comment :D

Pretty simple game but you made it very memorable with cool effects, interesting difficulty changes, and hilarious random events. Really great first game.

Very good for a first game. You should definitely continue making them.
It was very compelling to see what would happen next, so good use of the theme. I really liked small details such as your character moving a bit as well when there's wind. It is a lot better than many of the games I've seen around here.
Very cute game, loved the music :D xD i know is simple but very fun n.n i score 574 points xD... i really like this game :D great work :D
