this requires a surprising amount of timing; it was fun :)

I got my highest score by sitting in one place the entire time. Its a cool idea, but the red blocks need a little more logic to make it better.

Keep up the good work.

A lot of fun, not sure what rabbit means when he said he got a high score by sitting in one place, I didn't. I did have a sun spawn on my head though, so that was interesting. But your game made me want to try again after that, so good job. Really pleasing visual/music combo too. And I liked watching all the suns explode and red things fly away after I died.

Like the music, art and challenging gameplay.

This would be crazy if it were multiplayer(maybe like snake?), solid gameplay, ok graphics, cool sounds.

I had a fun time with this, it's music with the gameplay for some reason made me laugh, and in the end had a good time.

Very energetic! I love it!

*Claps slowly* solid 34/40 good job man my and my friend had tons of fun wit this one!

mokosha 2014-12-08 07:12

Fun game. It was really hard to collect the green things. The music also gave me a seizure (in a good way)

snuux 2014-12-08 08:12

Nice gameplay with minimalistic graphics. Thanks!

logun 2014-12-08 08:47

As hardcore as the music ! :)
I always like those simple mechanics, just scoring and pretty difficult gameplay, immediatly fun.
Where is the ladderboard !? With a ladderboard it could be really awesome !

rsergiu2003 2014-12-08 09:00

looks nice... but no mac ?

wandersenus 2014-12-08 09:09

nice game!

proximal-pyro 2014-12-08 09:11

Cool idea! Simple game but it does not need more!

alter 2014-12-08 15:58

It was fun!
Nice sounds and music.

furrikira 2014-12-08 16:10

This is a lot of fun and requires a lot of movement to get the greens! The visuals and music works so well~
Imagine if you just continued this and added support on a phone's gyroscope.

Simple and effective idea! It makes it really challenging when you make the things you have to collect spawn the things you have to avoid. A good amount of different patterns for the red squares to keep you guessing. The music and sound effects are so good that I just want to keep playing to hear more of it! Good job!

odefus 2014-12-08 22:05

A very fun game. Took me a while to figure out I can kill spawners by moving in to them. I like the difficulty of it.

dreii 2014-12-09 00:41

Really well done, I like how tight and simple the rules are, given the amount of decisions that emerge from it.

gmaker 2014-12-09 09:34

nice squares! i loved it all. Good job!

budi 2014-12-09 10:35

I really like orbital mechanics in this game! Crazy music together with minimalistic graphics makes this game really consistent! Very nice! :)

pegigante 2014-12-09 21:07

Simple, fun and beautiful.

huntthewumpus 2014-12-09 21:13

Really cool game and awesome music. I like the simple graphic design and the explosion effect. Challenging!

pickensincorporated 2014-12-09 21:15

Loved it, but super hard! Might keep playing this!

dookie 2014-12-09 22:51

Neat little game! Simple but effective. I liked the "gravity" pull on the red squares until you picked up the yellow/green ones.

haslettj 2014-12-09 22:52

Fun game. I like the idea.

wakka 2014-12-09 22:55

Got a score of 4215. Great entry! The gameplay is awesome and music is cool. I would change the scoring system to give points when killing enemies.

akhilnivarthi 2014-12-10 21:02

Nice game and challenging too.

hundredhundred 2014-12-12 14:51

Awesome hhad fun on this entry!, simple yet effective I really liked the design game although it lacked a tutorial. great entry!

benjamin-soule 2014-12-18 15:36

On my first game I waited for a long time for green stuff to spawn. Then I realize that this yellow was kind of greenish :)

Can't do more than 4263 the plays are REALLY short. Trying to grab bonus who try to kill me is actually a lot of fun.

For a die'n'retry this gameover pause seems an eternity.

aeveis 2014-12-24 06:41

pretty good! I liked how the squares you had to collect also spawned the dangerous squares. Also creates incentive for the player to collect things since the red squares will stay on and make the game harder if you are too slow. only thing is maybe if you had the easy patterns at first and then ramped up to the harder patterns. anyway, very cool.
