This was really hard, I found the controls were a little to close to each other
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD40 → HARP

I really really liked this concept. The controls were quite close together but I think that added to the fact that this was meant to be a brain cluster so didn't see it as much of a negative. I got to level 6 and got hit on the last wave of red dots. Also love the emergant music that's created. You could add a little percussion underneath to fill the space between waves in a round but that's a very small thing. Out of interest, how far does it go level-wise?
Really nice concept! Looks good too. It works well and doesn't feel cramped if you self impose a one-hand-only rule.
Some thoughts - I wish there weren't lives, and I don't think high scoring suits this kind of game unless it's procedural / endless. I also think it would be a better game if it were procedural than being level-based. Lastly, I wish it was more musical and harmonized in interesting ways. I hope you work on it more though, it's really cool.
@toboggan @quixatocs Thanks! Actually it is procedural & endless. Only the 2-3 first levels are hardcoded and after it's always generated, but the generation algorithm is not good enough (would need more different pattern / better incremental difficulty, etc..).
