this is my first Ludum Dare Thanks for checking it out! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Apr 19, 2016] Thank all for comments. Nice to hear from someone that likes my game :D
Good idea and execution! The game becomes hypnotic after a while :P
My only nitpick would be to use more comfortable controls like something WASD/arrows-based. Also this game screams for a chiptune synced with the shape sounds (a-la-Super Hexagon), but I reckon it would have been required quite some work.
My Score: 43 Cool little game for your first Ludum Dare. Although it's simple it fit the theme well. I felt like you ramped up the difficulty at a good pace, allowing me to get my bearings with the controls at first, but slowly I get to the point that I can't keep up.
And thanks for watching me make my game on twitch!
Minimalistic but very striking. I feel like cycling through shapes rather than selecting them directly would have been a bit more manageable; keeping four button actions straight is surprisingly tricky! XD
Simple and quick to pick up, but it gets pretty difficult with 4 shapes to keep track of, coming fast and furious! It definitely feels like it needs some sort of thumping music to go with it, especially if the gameplay could match the rhythm.
Very nice game, the effect of the shapes closing in is very pleasing. I find it too bad there is no way to resize the window, the bottom of the game was cut off because of it. Very tight arcade game, my highscore was 52.

With usefull animations.
Maybe 1,2,3,4 is not the best keyboard layout for quick play.

with a music that matches the beat of the level it could be even better.
