It's a bit too easy, managed to finish 3 levels very easily. I love the dynamic created by the gameplay, but you can basically just spam both buttons and kill enemies easily.

In order to kill an enemy, null its color to black.\r\n\r\nThe goal is to null any enemies to prevent them from reaching your orb (the flashy white thing) until time runs out. If more than 10 enemies reach your orb, you restart the level. The orb's health is indicated by its color, white is good, black is almost gone. \r\n\r\nThere's a friendly little ring around both your orb and the enemy spawns indicating how much time is left in a level. Keep in mind that the timer counts down to when enemies stop spawning, they still all have to be nulled for the level to be won.\r\n\r\nControls are explained in game, the only thing you need to know is that the original requires a middle mouse click to fire green, whereas the version marked \"I have a cruddy mouse\" will fire green if left and right click are both held down. I think this edit falls under the porting exception, but I don't want to push that.\r\n\r\nLastly, those three circles at the bottom of the screen show the RGB value of whatever your cursor is pointed at.\r\n\r\nHave fun!
