what a good game!!!

nuclearchocolate 2014-12-08 09:25

The game is a little too difficult and seems unfair.

lolwned 2014-12-08 09:28

Harder than expected !

binarybot 2014-12-08 09:28

Hmm, interesting game! It feels like abit more luck than skill though (if I am not mistaken it is just click the colour thats shown most..?) It has nice visuals though, with particles and glowing. Good game!

proximal-pyro 2014-12-08 09:29

Cool game! It is really hard and you really gotta think on each level but I like it!

iaknihs 2014-12-08 09:30

Very nice. I didn't read your description before playing, so I was wondering what to do at first... well that was silly.
Very nice coloring and neat gameplay.

Managed 10960 - cool idea, it's tricky to estimate how much of each colour is on the screen :) The penalty for misclicking seems low though, I think it's better to click semi-randomly than wait to get the right answer, perhaps the penalty should scale up?

logun 2014-12-08 09:59

I think the simple mechnic is far away enough, but it needs a little thing... moving blocks maybe ? get +3s when you find the good color ? Maybe colors mixing in a way could be cool.
Love neons :)

lisac 2014-12-08 10:01

Great idea! It gets quite difficult when there are few squares on the screen.

justinooncx 2014-12-08 10:02

It's not as easy as it looks, that's for sure. My eyes hurt now~

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-08 10:13

There are some nice touches in here, such as the way that the tiles are animated. Good game.

It would be an excellent mobile / tablet game.

kedume 2014-12-08 10:26

Nice puzzle game. I bit dificult but nice. I love the the neon graphics.

P.D: Sorry. I've made op-out the ratings of my game by error :-( You can vote it now

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-08 10:37

My wife did a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/dzSYKvs9Yhw

Thank you all for your comments up to now and your suggestions .
KedumeBits : Vote done :)
BadlyDrawnRod : A warm and huge thanks to your wife !

01101101 2014-12-08 12:00

I really like this! :D Not easy, can be cool and relaxing as well as stress-filled when you make a panic rush to beat your score and fail miserably ^^ My kind of games!

yodamaster 2014-12-08 14:12

That would make a very nice iOS game!

ithildin 2014-12-08 14:13

Love it! The concept is absurdly easy to grasp, and yet the game turns out to be harder, and way more addictive, than it seems at first sight.

Good work on the neon visuals, too. An awesome job overall, congratulations!

anokta 2014-12-08 14:14

simple yet challenging! would have been smoother if the difficulty increased gradually - i guess it's more or less random now?

okkolobr 2014-12-08 15:03

Thanks to all new comments :)
Anokta : Yes, the random is still more important than the "increasing difficulty" mechanic that I tried to put. Guess I was too tired to make it ok.

Start feeling the need to make a post LD version, more polished and complete. Thank you all !

tomvert 2014-12-08 15:05

Some screen are easy to tell, others are impossible !! Anyway cool simple idea, great job !

odefus 2014-12-08 21:46

Enjoyable game. Unfortunately I am blind as a bat when it comes to colors and simply cannot tell some of them apart. Could use a color blind mode.

okkolobr 2014-12-08 22:09

Odefus : yeah, really sorry about that. I just thought about colorblind issue at the really end of the last day :(

I'll do something in the post compo version !

bigbazwa 2014-12-08 23:35

Very nice graphical style.

androniq 2014-12-08 23:41

Cool game. It's pretty addictive. It's hard because the bright colours jump out to you and look more than the others.

maddestudios 2014-12-09 10:15

That's actually really fun! would make a great mobile game

leaghorn 2014-12-09 16:15

Good concept. Would work great on mobiles.

codecranker 2014-12-09 19:14

good game. timer is too short.

It should be open with few options like
1) play for unlimited time
2) play for 15sec
3) play for 1min
...

maesk 2014-12-09 23:09

Unique idea! It's hard to count all of them of a single look, and it gets easy to fail :D But failure is fast, so it keeps you trying and trying, good work

spacedoubt 2014-12-09 23:11

Pretty cool. Seems like every time I start to get into it, it's over. Think it would be more fun if you got more time added for correct clicks.

johnbrynte 2014-12-09 23:15

For such a simple idea this is actually very fun! I would have liked each level to have its own timer instead. Also, having easier levels in the beginning with less colors would have been nice. I think you could experiment with having clues in the surroundings in the level to aid you in distinguishing the number of colors. Great work!

01rafael 2014-12-09 23:22

I like this colors!
I'm not really get this rules. But, anyway game is awesome!

mrexcessive 2014-12-10 20:49

Hi there. Fun idea, feels a bit like being tested in a psych ward.. er... I imagine... Might be nice to start out with groups of 2 or 3 and then build up. Have you tried it on Corvidae ? Like the visuals and sounds, also like the drop effect on wrong. Good job!

gamepopper 2014-12-11 12:13

Good puzzle game, wasn't sure what the multicoloured square did though.

jpmit 2014-12-11 12:46

Cool fun, good idea. I like how you've implemented the scoring and the timer. Well done.

mrbadivan 2014-12-14 19:31

It seems like beyond human abilities, but looks good, and fun =)

warboys 2014-12-15 12:25

Really neat idea, very different from the usual game I've played. Nice job! Now to treat my eyestrain ;)

mrshoestore 2014-12-16 00:48

not that i am color blind, but i've got to imagine this isn't too color blind friendly :P i had a tough time noticing a difference in some of the coloring/how many of each, though i guess that is the point

lynx 2014-12-20 01:13

Overall I really enjoyed this game, can easily be ported to any touch device too! I kinda wish there was timer noise or some sort of music that got faster and faster to let me know when time is running out because I'm too fixed on the colors to look away at the clock.

Really challenging game! Specially with lighter colors mixed with brighter colors (i.e.: bright green will always stand out compared to every other color, even if it's not the majority) but that's what makes it so fun!

Well done concept, I hope you continue this post-Compo

lythom 2014-12-20 18:23

Nice addicting game, very hard !
I like the "moving neon square" mood, works pretty well.

chrismcmath 2014-12-23 07:45

Interesting game. The point and time system create a great tension of how long you are willing to wait to work out a puzzle. I'd like to know which was the correct choice if I get it wrong. Also, the abstract nature of the puzzles is a turn off for me, would it be possible to fuse this concept with actual pictures?

colludium 2014-12-23 14:04

This was a really good fun game. Great graphics and game play. My only little frustration was with the count down timer - it stopped me every time I was just getting into it. Perhaps punish a player's mistakes by allowing for X number of mistakes / allow 10-15 sec per level, but reduce that time on the next go if a mistake is made. Just ideas... I really enjoyed this entry - good job!

scam 2014-12-24 00:37

Simple but fun. This would be a nice mobile game. Hopefully colorblind friendly version is also in the works.

Jeremias 2014-12-24 15:16

My best score was 6000. Fun little game you got here.

pht59x 2014-12-29 21:37

Simple and good gameplay concept. Lovely colours. The game would do better with more complexity and sound effects.

lereveur 2014-12-29 23:10

Simple, fun, nice looking... A little lack of innovation, but really good game. :)
