-Escape: Close the game

*The Maximum Y value is 180.
*The Maximum hue is 255.
*The Maximum angle is 360 degrees.
*The angle starts at 0 when your mouse is due right of your shape, and increases in a counter-clockwise fashion until you reach due right again, at which point the angle snaps from 359 degrees to 0 degrees.
Instead of interpreting this Ludum Dare's theme (Shapeshift), I decided to take it as literally as possible. This game involves:
-Moving Shapes!
-Rotating Shapes!
-Changing the Color of Shapes!
...and not much else.
Enjoy.
Want more facetiousness? Head over to my Twitter page (@GogglesKGames). I'm sure there's something interesting there...
Very cool concept! Adjusting angle and position seems a bit easy though, maybe if the target shape was in a different screen section and you'd have to mirror without being able to overlap, then the challenge would be more tasty :)
intereseting idea, fits the theme well. Must say that I was done with it after about 5 min though, could perhaps make it a bit less boring with a proper leveling system. But really nice work anyway!
I actually love your commitment to this simple but impossible concept. Watching people play local multiplayer or speed running this game would be amazing.
such an interesting concept, i really liked the kind of minimalist look to it, though i wish there was a little more to make it feel.. game-y? i guess. still, really solid job.
Just so everyone knows, this is really just supposed to be a joke, kind of. My initial concept was to literally move a square to another square, without variance or anything really interesting at all. I decided to expand it a little bit and try to make it even worth downloading :P I'm really appreciating all of the feedback, even with that said!
Easy mode was quite fun for a few minutes ... would have been nice to find a way to make the normal and hard modes similarly challenging without needing to use numerical values for hue which makes it feel so artificial. I tried extreme and laughed out loud!
