Nice game. I like the simplistic art!

My score: 51

Good idea and execution! The game becomes hypnotic after a while :P

My only nitpick would be to use more comfortable controls like something WASD/arrows-based. Also this game screams for a chiptune synced with the shape sounds (a-la-Super Hexagon), but I reckon it would have been required quite some work.

It is kinda fun, but becomes a little repetitive. :)

Fits the theme perfectly and is really addictive

Good game for rainy evenings. After a while it becomes rather easy but still very addictive. Gj! :P

Would've been a great rhythm game, but 48 hours aren't much, I know! Still very enjoyable, thanks.

Really nice, innovative take on the theme. This is the game I wish I'd thought of!

GG, nice work simple, clean and fun.
With usefull animations.
Maybe 1,2,3,4 is not the best keyboard layout for quick play.

Nice and simple, good job!

Nice gameplay (was a little hard for me, but my girlfriend scored 44 ^^).

Lots of fun! I giggled each time I got to the fast parts and tried to keep up. Well done!

Cool little game for your first Ludum Dare. Although it's simple it fit the theme well. I felt like you ramped up the difficulty at a good pace, allowing me to get my bearings with the controls at first, but slowly I get to the point that I can't keep up.

And thanks for watching me make my game on twitch!

Heh, it's fun to see the same idea executed by someone else! Well done :)

Minimalistic but very striking. I feel like cycling through shapes rather than selecting them directly would have been a bit more manageable; keeping four button actions straight is surprisingly tricky! XD

This game's great, really funny and addictive, music along the gameplay would do great. Well done!

simple but funky :) nice job

Simple and quick to pick up, but it gets pretty difficult with 4 shapes to keep track of, coming fast and furious! It definitely feels like it needs some sort of thumping music to go with it, especially if the gameplay could match the rhythm.

It's a nice game. My best score is 63.

Very nice game, the effect of the shapes closing in is very pleasing. I find it too bad there is no way to resize the window, the bottom of the game was cut off because of it. Very tight arcade game, my highscore was 52.

very nice entry for a first LD!
with a music that matches the beat of the level it could be even better.

Love it.
