Panel color generation is random, and I'm aware it can lead to just dying, I'm not sure if I want to prevent that, so it was kind of a design decission.\rAbout hitting your own color being more rewarding, I thought about it, but due to the way I implemented collision\/going through (using layers) I had to do some additional coding to give points for going through, and I didn't have time. I will probably do it after the evaluation though, since I plan to keep working on the game a bit.\rAbout particles and stuff, I want to add that at some point, as well as sounds, but again I didn't have time to tinker with the particle systems Unity has and I'm not familiar with them ^^""},{"author_name":"JangoBrick","author_uid":"34054","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 5:39pm","epoch":1409074440,"text":"Solid idea, although graphics could've been better and sound would have been nice.

It would go up extremely fast as long as I was strafing (even with no panels in range yet). Movement is super slippery and it takes time to know what colors map to what keys but other than that it is fine."},{"author_name":"Seraphic Media","author_uid":"34168","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 9:25pm","epoch":1409088000,"text":"That was a really fun game!

I thought later to make it score for each panel you went through but that required some changes I didn't have time to make. As for the movement, it is intended that the ship is kind of hard to stabilize and control.\r\rSeraphic Media, you can see the score in the upper right side of the screen :)"},{"author_name":"Nooner Bear","author_uid":"41949","time":"Aug 31, 2014 @ 9:19pm","epoch":1409519640,"text":"Neat idea, but the player moved too fast I thought.
