Heh... there is a glitch that can allow you to go up to 3 seconds under the 10 seconds, caused by if you go out of sync in the last 0.5 second, then it waits for the out of-sync timer to run out before failing you... too lazy to fix.
nice concept! It runs smooth like butter, and the shapes have a nice mystic, I dare say, Hellish, look to them.
I was wondering if it is a java related thing why the .jar files seem a bit excessively large - but that's off topic.
I like.
The .jar has all the libs and natives for ALL of the platforms packed into it, they add up to quit a bit, and all images are .png.
Good concept, smoothly executed.
I really love the graphics for this. The controls are fun, overall it's a great idea and I think there's a ton of potential for it. Good work
The project isn't working on Mac osx,I have Java installed.
Runs very smooth, and it was probably hard to make, which I appreciate.
This is great game! I enjoy rotating & scaling these triangles :D. But you could make it infinite like it doesn't say that you won, it will just keep going with random triangles until you fail. That'd be so much fun :)
Amusing
Wish it was harder/faster.
Felt like the game was too easy
It is "infinite", when it says "You won!" it really means you won the round, there are infinite rounds that become infinitely more difficult!
The controls feel a little too responsive, but it's still a neat idea.
@Zephyr89, can you run it from a command line and tell me if you get any ideas? @shs the controls are sensitive on purpose, eventually the triangle will start rotating a large amount, and in order to match the rotation in under 3 seconds you need fast controls, sorry but I saw no other solution.
#Zephyr, I meant errors, not ideas, typical of me to make an error in a comment and them spam my own comment page. But if you can it might help me to fix it, since I cannot test on mac.
That was more fun than I expected.
This is pretty interesting, even though you made it in only a few hours. I agree that the controls seemed a little sensitive, but I can agree with your justification for that.
Decent concept and execution. I know it has been brought up before, but I would have loved to see a real round-based game with an ending using the idea. Good work!
Cool idea! Reminds me of an entry from the Minimalist theme from last year, can't remember the name of it though...
Enjoyed playing that, nice time killer.
I really, really love this game!! Its pretty cool and I love the challenge of it. Its great! I featured it in a compilation video on Ludum Dare 27 games, if you want to check it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3_qdYR_Vsw
The jar unfortunately didn't run on my Mac.
Such a simple idea, yet such an addicting game. Really good arcade-style game! It runs really well, and it is the kind of quick thinking/reflex game that really get you to try again and again to improve. Really well done!
Will post video review link when ready.

fun :3
I really like the concept man, I think you should make it for touchable device.
Also you could reuse the mecanism in a more graphical game.
For instance, imagine in a hen house game, that the red triangle is eggs and the green triangle is a hen, you have to cover your eggs to protect them from something (a fox?).
I had fun playing it, even if it gets repetitive after a few minutes!
The old-school graphics work well, too. :)
Really nice concept.
I found it fun up to round 17. At that point I could hardly keep up with the other triangle. The graphics are simple, but crisp. With some frills, I could see it as a mobile game.
Did anyone make it past 17? I know I can't, pretty sure it'll become impossible. But since the velocity of the triangle is entirely random, then multiplied by a speed multiplier, it could be 0.5 x 30, being 6px/frame, or 0.01 x30, being 0.3px/frame, so you can still beat a hard round by just loosing a few times until you get lucky.
Very strange game, but not so bad :-)
Did I say 0.5*30 = 6? I must have been drunk again... AND tired. D: 15*
