Shiftavoid by rob1221

The game over is a bit frustrating sometimes ! But overall, I liked your take on the theme (I guessed the game screen is something like a smartphone screen ?), and the execution is cool. Good job.

My interpretation of the theme was to have all game objects on the screen and not leave, and I also don't have any new objects being created (excluding that game over popup). The game is only phone sized because I'll port it to iOS and Android eventually.

Very nice! I love the way the boxes are moved around, so that none of the levels needs any more or less. The graphics are also pretty smooth. The one thing I noticed is that the game over animation is a bit harsh. Overall, I think that the game, although quite simple, is very polished and well executed.

I love the look and animations to it! It's quite easy if you just slowly move the cursor at some points, as the ball moves right with it though.

I loved the animations! If you are going to update this game, I would suggest adding much more levels and making the particles a bit nicer.

I really like this game. The bgm is a nice mix, as well. Even though I like both separately, I don't think the bgm really fit the game. It seemed out of place. Maybe have the trail coming out of the ball pumping to the beat of the music? Anyway, nice level design and gameplay :)

I don't have a mouse handy, and my laptop trackpad is definitely not the right input device for this game! That said, I still enjoyed the few levels I managed to get through. Transitions between levels were cool, although they felt a bit slow at times. A nice entry! I enjoyed it!

Nice game, the transitions are seamless. The controls are VERY frustrating though.

It would look cool playing on android!

Elegant and simple puzzler with a nice level of variety. The alternate harder paths to potentially greater time saving is a nice touch.

Simple game but very well crafted! scoring/timer mecanics is great.

Good fun, and good use of the theme. The music is pretty good considering the time frame. I wonder if it would be better, instead of dying when you hit a wall, if you just start at the beginning of that level. You are on timer anyway so it shouldn't make it too easy.

Hi there. Nice hook-on-wire game. Found it very difficult without going really slow. Nice sounds. Good job!

Another game that is easy to play over and over again! Just fell right into this game.. it was easy to figure out objective and controls. There is even a bit of replay value in the fact that there is a timer for how many courses you beat as you can always try to cram more in one game! Audio is simple but goes with the game. I like how the board rearranges itself, plainly showing that all elements of the game are on the screen at one time. Great entry, props for pure Flash implementation and for using Inkscape to create the graphics!

Great controls and feedback, suits the theme and is easy to handle. Would have loved to see the fail state also resetting the level like it does in level transition!
