Crashes on startup. Win 8.1 x64, intel iris 3100.

It was a bit confusing at first, because I didn't understand how some of the blocks worked I just thought you had to match the colors at first. But once I figured it out it was pretty interesting. Love the music!

Wow, thanks for the music praise. I figured that that was my worst asset, given that it's a 7 second loop that I made in 15 minutes using SunVox. I'll probably add a tutorial mode for a post-compo release, since I quite like the concept.

It works on Windows 100% of the time now! That took long enough...

Very unique game. I couldn't get passed the first round after a while because the difficulty is pretty high.

Unique concept, a bit difficult I think but interesting.

I like nice fonts and Breakout is one of my all time favorites.
So this ranks high for me!

Really hard to understand the controls and I couldn't move in certain directions... I was running it on Windows 8.1 x64. Nice audio!

That's sort of the point. You can only move forward.

Playing on Windows 7 - The game flickered in fullscreen, and I'm not sure if there's a way to make it windowed. I've had this problem with other games, but I figured I'd see if there's a way to make it windowed.

It's a neat idea. I found it too complicated to play but I can see the appeal. Sound was crazy annoying. Good adherence to the theme.

The game leaves you with this feeling of trance... It's complicated but linear at the same time, but once you kinda figure out a way to do stuff, you don't stop until you complete one wave, at least.
It IS a bit hard to get into, though, and I saw myself using the yellow and green lasers more often than I stopped to think about what would be more effective against what.
Final thoughts: I feel like it could've matched the theme more than it did... Also, pressing Escape to quit would be nice.

Nice concept and mood created.

Nice concept.
But, controls are terrible)

Super confusing, shots seem completely ineffective, and I'm not sure what the point was.
