Inspired (vaguely) by the GameBoy Color's Zelda minigames comes Screen Saver!
The colors keep changing, drag the coins to an area that matches the outer color to keep earning points.
The inner color show your coin level, the higher the level the more you will earn from that coin, if the level drops bellow bronze the coin is lost.

Half way through I realized this is a mobile game, but support for mobile devices is wacky. Maybe sometime I'll make it an standalone app.

Everything in Screen Saver was coded: logic, graphics and sound. Made with pure Javascript and several Google searches.
Give it a try.

Included is a music mode, just to play with the blips and blops.

Tested on Safari 8.0 and FireFox 36.
There are differences between the browsers, on Safari the sound is better, but sometimes it gets crazy.
The font I am using is Futura, and I have a feeling it will bug anywhere else, never used this kind of thing before.

The screenshots are outdated, but I'm too tired to fix them now.

Good game! I like your dynamic sound effects, but they were perhaps a tad annoying after a while. Glad you put a mute there :D Fun little game! Good job.

I think if this was on mobile, and it was faster, and had multiple coins on the screen at once, it could be challenging and quite fun!

I like it! At first it was a bit slow, but when a second piece appeared the pace became much better.

Haha, I love the sound effects. I wasn't sure exactly how to win or lose, but I enjoyed trying to figure it out.

Nice, addictive game, but after a while, the outer color didn't change, and the game just got easy and boring.

Like the dynamic sounds, very energetic. I think it could be better if you make it harder.

Cool concept, though I think the game isn't really hard enough to be fun. If the playthroughs went by quicker it would be a lot more compelling of a game, but as it stands getting through until I lose is really just a chore.

Thanks for the feedback on the difficulty, I tried to make it harder, but I think it wasn't enough.
Also, how could I forget a mute button!? I think I liked the sounds too much.

You know, as simple as the background music is, I really like it :) I also like the sound for moving stuff around. Overall a neat game, and I agree this would be sweet on mobile

The sound is a bit awful, but the theme and the idea is very creative. Maybe a bit more depth for the gameplay will help to improve it, good entry!

Cool concept. I feel there should be more of and effect when the player gets points from a matching coin. Like the coin should explode and then put down a new random coin somewhere else. Also, I think having a separate inner color on the coin just adds additional confusion.

-Audio is full of clicks which makes the mood pretty unpleasant :(
-Hard to tell when I was doing the right thing because sometimes there were no matching color :(
-Pretty weird concept for a game, I like that :)

Love it. The game is well made and I like the way the game accommodates for your skill level with the extra coins when you're doing well but still gets faster. Your take on the theme is cool and the audio works nicely.

Nice sounds, it make me think in Atari times. It is simple but i like it.

hahah. Awesome. This was oddly satisfying. It was a bit confusing deailg with the 2 & then 3 coins at once, but that made it more fun. I wish the difficuly ramped up more over time, as I stopped because i was' done' instead of 'game-overing' All around fun entry though.

Nice idea

Hi there. Nice idea, kept on top of it until there were four. The music track grates a bit after a while, but like the tuning sound effects. Good job!

Nice, innovative concept. Sometimes there was not matching color in the screen and made me lose coins!
