Uh, super difficult, but pretty much unlike anything I've seen before :D

I think the game would've benefited from a smaller level in the beginning. A tutorial of sorts :)

Hey, fellow first-timer :) Well done on getting it in on time.
I'm finding it really difficult at the moment. I'm not sure I understand how you're supposed to go about moving the colours around. Could you perhaps elaborate a bit?

Super difficult, but the ruleset is like nothing I have seen before. Nice puzzle idea.

Wow, really difficult, but a good idea! Well done!

Very interesting and innovative game !

I really wanted to finish the game but the coloured squares kept overwrinting themselves and thus making the puzzle unsolvable :( You can reproduce the glitch by getting a square to both 1D "buffers" on the same spot and then rotating the cursour around that spot (press left-up-right-down)
I would like to try to finish the game so if you fix the bug let me know :)

Wow that was hard :). Really nice try and just barebone JavaScript is impressive :)

Wow. THat was quite awesome. I kind of got the rules after a few goes, but not once was I able to actually get to a point where I finished the puzzle. The idea / mechanic were simply top notch. Looked pretty good, too! I also think it could use a tutorial of some sort, and though I appreciate the random nature of the blocks, maybe have levels that must be figured out rather than random blocks? It'd be nice to know if something was possible rather than just switching blocks randomly.

wow props for such a very solid first time entry! Very tough, but it makes sense and like no other puzzle I know of. Very cool, and very original!

Interesting mechanics! Definitely new to me. Agreed with others that it would be helpful to start with smaller, simpler puzzles. Also, I kept forgetting exactly where my cursor would move to depending on which key I pressed and what my current position was.

This is one challenging game! Took me a while to figure it out, and I'll probably never finish it, but it's super unique. Points for cleverness!

WOW!!! This is crazy awesome! Its like a weird harder version of Picross!! I Love It!! I would like to see a simple tutorial that's only 5 by 5 tiles or something simple

Extremely difficult but great 1st entry! I'd like to see a simplified version of this...I think it would be fun. Congrats on your 1st LD

A very interesting concept; I really wish there were tutorial levels because as is I found it very hard to understand how to efficiently get the colours where I want.

What a marvelous idea for a first entry! The controls are difficult to grasp, but a solid game in every other way. Also great work implementing this in Javascript :)

Innovation level is high, your game need some kind off introduction level to learn the basic shifting tricks.
Great work!

Whoa, tape-drivey/Turning-esque gameplay. Would be neat to see an auto-player/AI run through levels as a sort of screen saver. Congrats on your first entry!
