This was really cool, and I wasn't expecting it.

Really nice game, loved your take on Minimalism :) My only issue was it took me a few goes to work out what to do, but after that it was a great game :)

Good concept. Wonderful realization.

LCD power! You are the HUD genius.

The behavior of the squares doesn't make sense. Sometimes it changes the colour, sometimes it kills you.

Great little game. For those who can't figure out the behavior: green = good, red = bad, blue = flip the colors.

Really enjoyed this (once I figured how to get it going and then sorted out the rules on my own.) Unfortunately for the certain type of color blind, those red/green squares are gonna be impossible to tell apart. Great work on the visual aesthetics of the game too!

Classic gameplay with a nerdy look!

ah... green go... red stop... i must be getting old.. once I got that... well...
loved the setup, and the game got really fun as it speeds up. the art just works, and hit the theme perfect. good work!
(don't see otomata used nearly as much as it seems it should in this compo... my first two ld entries were all about that program :) )

Very cool idea! My best score so far is 260. Fun game :)

Great fun. Very creative and the gameplay was well balanced. Very replayable.

Fantastic visuals, style and audio. Loved it. Had to read the comments to understand the block types. Should explain that in game, actually. pretty fun but seems like it ramped up to impossible speed very quickly. 355 pts here. really liked the calculator display style.

Cool game! I like how it feels like it's on a calculator.

That's some neat presentation you have here, with the photos. Good thinking there. :)

While it was initially confusing, I did actually figure out the gameplay pretty quickly. The mechanic was simple but fun.

The audio, while very simple, adds a lot to the tension after the speed really picks up.

This game was surprisingly stressful oO. Too bad there's no easter egg when we press one of the calculator button :0)

I was pleasantly surprised. Cool game and intro screen!

Since it's Unity, could you post a standalone Linux build? There's no webplayer for Linux. =(

Great Stuff. Reminds me that good game design needs little explanation.

not sure if that was brilliant -- or insane -- i think i will go with brilliant

Awesome esthetic! Simple and fun gameplay. Pretty much hit the nail on the head in every category, with it all relating to the theme. Great Game.

410 pts and I see the world in three colors. Good mechanic :).

Really neat idea, level progression is fairly well designed for 48 hours too.
