don't kill the kitten
I came here so that no more kittens would have to suffer... And I stayed for the thumping soundtrack, the sweet CRT effect, and the strangely compulsive gameplay!
Okay, the kitten is safe... for now.
Thanks for your kind comments. :-)
Pretty awesome game! I like it!
I also came here to save the kitten. Always save the kitten.
Your game is nice too.
That was cool, liked the audio, really added to the atmosphere.
Nice entry!
Poor kitty </3
That's a really nice soundtrack, and a nice concept, albeit a hard to control one - too many shape/colour combinations for me, but it works!
Nice game! The bottom shape was a tad difficult to spot at times since the shapes in the UI were overlapping it. Other than that, really solid entry. :)
This was really good. I liked the music and the pattern matching was fun.
Really interesting gameplay with a great background. Well done. I like aesthetic ++
Thank you all for your comments! I will download and rate your games now.
Liked the music. Unfortunately the instruction text in the beginning overlapped itself and was impossible to read on my machine.
Love the games music and visual style. I am much too slow for this game, but I like the idea behind it. Well done.
Cool little game. It was a bit "overwhelming" with the particles, however.
The throbbing of the light gave me a bit of a headache, but good otherwise.
Amazing music and challenging game, with having so many different keys to need to press
Great music! I opted for the "lesser points" version because I'm horrible with rhythm games.
It's quite hard and exciting, I like it!
I'm not sure if the 1-5 and Q-R keys are too many, but it do bring the challenge up, also the music is neat!
Good job :D
Thanks for the feedback, I'm considering making a post-compo 'easy' version with just 2 colors and 4 shapes. That would put more emphasis on the 'rhytm' part which I think would be good.
Very enjoyable game, though I ended up only matching shapes and not colors so as to win. The darkness that creeped in with the beat could've been toned down a bit, and occasionally it completely darkened the screen, but fortunately this never caused too much of a problem.
Also, the menu work shows! I stuck on the screen for a bit to see it and it was certainly worth watching. In the menu and out, the audio and effects really worked well!
@LukeZaz Thank you, I watched your stream, it was very nice seeing someone play the game and get their reactions.
Very nice entry!! I really enjoyed the overall feel, and the core game mechanic was really neat! :)

@leo_p_mahon thanks for your report, unable to reproduce unfortunately...
Fun, fast paced game that was very fun. The only real downside to it was the odd controls, but regardless of that it was pretty fun. Rate my game here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=89298
Solid entry! I like it a lot! :)
