I like the idea. It's challenging, especially with the changing positions and fading of the objects. I don't like that the mouse cursor is caught in the window, otherwise it's running fine for me.
Not starting here either. Made a picture of the error message: http://i.imgur.com/VkPrCSH.jpg , seems it's trying to look up a hardcoded path that is only valid on your computer :P
@antonijn: very sorry for crashing your system :( @Clavus: thx for the screenshot. There problems seems to be that openal can not be found!? Maybe I should pack it with the game. @all: thx for playing :D I will try to get it more stable...
You seem to have a massive memory leak somewhere. After a few minutes the game starts stuttering, and a while later my machine starts swapping like crazy. I also had some bugs with the mouse cursor and hit detection, but that might have been due to my unusual window manager.
But it's a nice concept and the level progression (as far as I got before I had to kill it) seems pretty good. I also liked the music as long as I didn't pay too much attention to it.
This would work great on a touch screen. Maybe you could add some variety in colours as well as shapes?
Wow! This game was really interesting. I especially like the bounce on the menu at the end of the level. That is a nice little touch. It is a shame the netcode didn't work out!
@FrozenFractal: Yeah, there seems to be a memory-problem! Once my teeth-aching stops I will go into that! Actually I concepeted the game so it will be playable on touch-devices,... and in theory the game works on android and blackberry (but it is just too slow!)
Got error message people have been mentioning (pastebin with log: http://pastebin.com/mmV4sujE). The first error is complaining about not finding OpenAL.
Cool idea. It ran flawlessly for me on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit. I think that the idea lends itself well to the addition of more complex gameplay. Great work! :)

BTW: This is the first LD that I reviewed that managed to crash my system! Good job XD
The game is also very laggy on my system.

Good choice of music.

Also, it ran fine for me on Win7 64bit.

To fix this, I downloaded the OpenAL redist installer and ran it (http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip). Then it worked fine.
The game was pretty clever. Invisible shapes that moves and swaps? Not the easiest to handle at first.
