Great game! Still haven't figured out what that one system on the far left does.

Never mind! That one controls doors. It took two tries, but I finally managed to win!
I would like to formally apologize for, figuratively, disappearing off the face of the planet after just posting this.
@jpverkamp The executable is now in a .zip file. You should be able to just download it and unzip it on your computer without Chrome thinking it's malicious now.
@ViliX Yeah, I know. Could you maybe elaborate more on what you think needs more polish?
@jomomomo As this was made in Love2D, I would have to use a different engine in order to do that. I'm not sure if there is enough time left. I apologize for not addressing this earlier.
^ I also get a 404 error clicking the OS/X link.
It's a simple but fun game to blow a few minutes on. I like the music.
I could be imagining it, but I think the blocks are falling faster in fullscreen mode.
Also, are you just rolling a random number to determine which column the next block falls in? I played a couple rounds where at one point, I stopped pressing buttons and stayed still, and lasted an additional fifteen-twenty+ seconds because all the blocks were falling in the other columns. If that is not intended, a good improvement would be to time how many seconds it's been since the keyboard press event, and drop a block on the player's column when it reaches X number of seconds.
I really like the aesthetic and mood of the game. It's easy to get into a flow when playing. It's also really easy to pick up and play/understand w/o any instructions or reference to the controls. I wish the hitboxes on the triangles you're trying to collect were a bit larger. There were several times playing where I flew just right past the triangle. I also wish the player was a *tiny* bit slower, to make it easier to control. Otherwise, good job!
@Rs11s2ln, I've updated the Windows link. It gives you a zip file of the executable and the DLLs from Love2D. It should work now.
It's a neat, fun little game. I wish there were more levels. I also wish it was clearer how many tiles you had left before the door closed.
