Liked it. But for gameplay you could use both buttons (rotate right/left)

Was pretty cool! I really liked the mood of the game and the idea. I have noticed that spinning while collecting blocks, sometimes causes you to lose. Anyways, cool game!

@Catwheel yep, that was why I said in the tutorial that you have to be accurate :D

Quite nice game, I think I'd have liked it a bit more if it was a lot faster, for both the tutorial and the actual game.

A short but well put together game. My only complaint is that there are a few bugs when rotating such as squares not showing up if they are grabbed.

Very nice and relaxing game after a hard day playing LD games! Good job!

Cool game! The collision detection is so unforgiving haha.

A very good entry! I enjoyed it a lot. Has a... super hexagon + audiosurf vibe to it, which I like. Anyway, I just thought I'd say that I am not completely convinced by the game over condition, which is triggered if you are hit while mid rotation. I understand the thinking behind it, I just think the game would be even better with more squares to attach to you, and without that game over condition. Just my 2 cents.

Good work on the audio!
Pacing could use some work, a bit slow.

I love games that requires hand-eye coordination.

Wonderful use of audio to create mood. This has the best mood of any game I've seen so far. Relaxing game.

As others have noted, not being able to turn counter-clockwise feels like an odd omission from the controls. It's part of what makes the game feel incomplete.

Nice innovation, very nice audio. Unfortunately the game sometimes resets if you collect a block while spinning.

Very nice variation on the match-3 genre. Also, the tutorial was spot-on!

Very cool game, could probably use a difficulty increase over time, or more cubes to rotate with more colors?

Cool game, with nice mood (I love the audio :)). Maybe you could add a 5th color to make a little harder. But I've seen the concept on many other places so I can't put a good score on innovation :/

Nifty game, quite fun! I really like the minimalist aesthetics with the backgrounds and box-particles, really complements the elegant mechanic. Great work!
