I hope I made Rick proud.

There's a lot of definitions of what a 'game' is. But I'm pretty sure this satisfies most of them! It's got a challenge - an obstacle to overcome.

True, it's not very deep, there aren't a whole lot of skills to master - well, I dunno, it seems to me when I push two directions at once the circles move faster ... maybe it's just imagination? Either way, I felt like I discovered a new strategy when I did that.

No prior experience making games? Color me impressed. I don't think I would have made it past the collision issues before I hid under a hole.

I went down and left every single time. Does anyone ever go right and up?

I replayed it and decided to attack the thing in the middle. It didn't work, but I was greeted with a You Lose screen that has me evaluating my life decisions. 11/10 would play again

Interesting pastime you've created there.. put it on a wall and let people play with it !

Mwah-haha! You did it! That is all the pieces you need: I'd make the ball move 3 times faster - and that's a wrap.

Actually, it would be really cool/insane if you only moved each dot if you had _both_ controls down: so if you just pressed W nothing would happen, but if you pressed W AND down arrow then the white one would move up, and the black one down... so you have to synchronize... Also, make it a multiplayer online battle arena, ta.

OK your next one will be better, but it IS a game! ;) +1 for using phaser, and for the nice trippy colors! It is fun for the first 3 levels :)
