Click and drag the hollow shapes to match either the color or shape of falling shapes. Match 3 in a row to get more time. Dropping a shape on another shape causes them to swap places.

I'm hoping to port it to mobile before the judging ends, but for now it's Flash only.

interesting concept! I can see this probably works best on a touch-screen.. very nice

It was very tricky with a mouse, but yeah, as @orangepascal said - this is probably very fun on a touch-screen!

Cool, just needs some music and it could be really addictive!

Echoing the comments of other - very cool, well-executed, not easy with a mouse! Good job.

Simple but fun, it'd be nice to play it on a touch device.

I was doing well until I missed a square and then I got nervous and missed many shapes. The first run I completely forgot about color matching.

Seems like this was designed for a mobile device - so I'm neither a huge fan of the control scheme on a normal computer, nor the resolution.

That being said, I like the concept, which certainly fits the theme, and I think this could be quite fun if you implemented another control scheme for PC. Like, Pressing keys 1-3 to select a shape and the arrow keys to move them around.

I'm a little surprised that the mouse-only controls are considered a downside. I like to designs games that are intuitive on mobile and browser. To me, it seems like keyboard controls would have complicated it considerably. But perhaps that's just my personal preference.

Very trick with a mouse, but I liked the idea!

As others have said, some music and putting this on mobile would be really neat. Otherwise, nice entry!

Nice, but I gotta say I agree with the mouse comments. I think I'd do far better with keyboard controls on this.

Not bad, though it's a little clunky to click and drag everything. It would probably play really well on a touch screen device.

nice variation of the guitar hero game. i liked that you can either use color or shape.

Great job. Hard to get the hang of at first, but not too hard to pick up.

Interesting concept, lacks something to be fun for me, hmm.
It kind of reminds all those "guitar hero" games, just no music dimension.
Hmm, my be its because I can't relate this to real world activities in some way that would made it fun for me :) Mashing buttons in music rhythm games feels more fun probably cuz it relates to music instruments and rythm part of them is better visible then here...

Interesting game. Unfortunately the controls are very slow for me and the game crashes every now and then on Chrome/Win.

I really think you should continue working on this and perhaps release it for mobile. The graphics and concept would work very well for a casual mobile game.

Good work!

Very nice polished game, without music, but with a progression of difficulty. Very good job !

Great work, very original!

Very fun. I like the contrast between the beginning when you have time to do optimal moves, and the end where it becomes very hectic.
