I really like the ability to change colors, although the controls are a little clunky and unintuitive. I would suggest changing QWE to change colors, ASD to control platforms, just space to attack with your current color (black would need one attack from each), and keep the arrow keys as the only way to control.\r\rI had a lot of fun with this. Good job!"},{"author_name":"revolter","author_uid":"46448","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 8:47am","epoch":1418028120,"text":"Jesus, interesting concept, but really hard to get into and understand what you should be doing."},{"author_name":"Bogden","author_uid":"31759","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 8:53am","epoch":1418028480,"text":"Awesome idea!

I think giving the players a slower start (maybe restrict some colors) so you're playing with a much smaller pool of control.

Very hard to start with (although it got much easier once I figured it out). If you develop this game further, I'd suggest building up the complexity a little more slowly.
