Intresting idea, and very well executed. Well done!

I read the instructions, but didn't understand what it meant to match a block color until I succeeded at it. Once I understood I could pick up the dots by touching them with the matching block, and that the objective was to pick up the dot that matched the flashing block, I enjoyed the game more. It's pretty tricky figuring out how to get around the area using the crosshair colors.

In the end, I lost by having green blink 3 times in a row. I wonder if it's a bug that getting the same color twice in a row makes it so the timer on that block doesn't reset.

Interesting little game! A couple times I got stuck where two colors were almost on the same line - I would switch to the first color, move through it, stick a pixel later on the second. Switch to the second color, try to move, and it would pop me back behind the first. Eventually I got through though, not sure how =).

A score system would be nice. other than that, it was a really interesting concept, and a great take on the theme.

No Linux version, can't judge.

Adding a score would have been a good choice in order to create a sort of replayability. The mechanic was very interesting and fun but I might have played longer if I could see a score / some sort of progress happening. Great music though.

Very interesting idea, and much deeper than it looks on the first sight.

Really cute graphics! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/F-G7DKrQW4g

Kind of harder than it seems at first. Very nice puzzler and very well done! Great music and sounds too!

Very polished, but it seems to be lacking something
