I present to you: Boogie Woogie - my first game ever. It's a combo Avoid/Collect style game (collect like-colored rectangles, avoid other colors).

It's written in HTML5, so it should run right in your browser.

Please enjoy!

Made with Impact, Bfxr, Pixen, Audacity, Garage Band, Chrome, and Vim.

Pretty fun. Got to 60.

60! Wow! That's higher than my best, I think.

Loved the music, and it's a pretty good take on the theme. One suggestion is that I died a lot by blocks spawning right on top of mine, and that's pretty frustrating.

Neat game, nice atmosphere.

Great gameplay. Music enhances the mood.

It's a bit laggy, but other than that, good!

Love the idea, music, and the simplicity. Fits the theme really well. The difficulty curve needs adjust a bit though.

I liked the art style and the music, everything fits together really well. And it's fun to play, too - well done!

I think that it good too slow at first (4 or 5 rects with the same color?) and then it gets very hard too quickly. You should tune that curve.
Everything else look, sounds and feels really good. Good game!

This is deceptively simple and fun. Good idea.

36! I am bad. Very nice concept and execution, agree that maybe a slightly more balanced curve could really make this game pop!

Really fun with great music and lots of replay value. I got 111. The trick is to stay near the edges.
