I love the mood that the austere graphics and reflective midi music brings. The dynamics of the music are a bit rough though imo, and a touch jarring because of it. But mostly the music's good. Gameplay-wise, it's addictive and challenging but is simple and doesn't overwhelm, which is the perfect balance I suppose. Thanks for making it! Have to check out the Oval game you mentioned next."},{"author_name":"Donar","author_uid":"39869","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 7:41pm","epoch":1409081760,"text":"I like this a lot.
