Incredibly inaccessible. There may be an okay game here, but I really can't reach it through the menus. When I finally got to the game it was okay, but it didn't last long and was very hard to control.

Nice music, the game was pretty fun, though i was only able to see squares, i tried all the difficulties, but only squares.

Thanks for reviewing my game - now it's my turn.

At first I couldn't understand, how it works, but when I catched it, the game became amazing. I especially love the way I automatically clear out shapes when I'm even only a bit close.

5 for Fun.

Very confusing menu and little took me some time go get going but it was a fun little game when i finally understood it-somewhat. As a pygame user myself, i really enjoyed the visual effects(the explosions) xD

Difficult, but cool and pretty. Good job!

Nice game. It is a hard game and I had to replay it some times to understand how to play it. Menu is not that clear.

Thank you guys for all your input.. I'll definitely try to make the menu clearer in the future. I did not realize it was a problem but that's probably because I'm the one who made it.

Maybe I'm weird but I didn't have any trouble figuring out the menu. I think it's a great idea for a game, but ideally it would have a well-balanced progression of difficulty that ramps up steadily over time, rather than having the player select it. You're right that this is a hard thing to do well, though. I found Sizes, even on easy, to be just beyond my ability. I got in the 50s a few times but never quite finished it.

I like the chill mood - not sure why you didn't want to be rated on mood but I would have given it 4 or 5 stars. The explosions are a nice touch.

Nice game. The hitboxes are just about right - you don't have to be exactly on the shape to dispatch it. Tracking one or two shifts at a time was fun, but above that got a bit hard. Though this does seem like the kind of game that you get better at with practice.

The user-unfriendly menu aside, this is quite the game! Love it.

I absolutely loved this game! I would totally get it if it was a mobile game lol. The graphics looked simple but I absolutely loved it; it just looks really elegant and smooth and the 'fireworks' were really neat. The music was nice and fits the game really well. The control was so smooth! I really enjoyed playing it and I had a lot of fun! The concept fits with the theme really well too! It was so creative. It's just perfect :) Awesome job!!
Just one tiny thing... It was really hard... I have a terribly long reaction time so this game was really challenging for me. Nevertheless I really enjoyed it! The fact that I still had fun although I was losing so much further proves that it was a great game. ;)

It's fun and challenging. I don't know about you, but I really like the music though! It somehow reminded me a nice old school feeling.

Very nice game, and the music was very good. It took me time to get used to the game commands, but it was a good game, though!

pretty good. Very accessible. I had fun.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Simple but it is fun. I didn't think the music was bad and actually thought it added to it.

Nice game, controls smoothly.
