The game is a little bit too hard for me.

It took a minute or so to figure out that the dots were my people. The mood of this game could really benefit from some sound effects, but I really liked this game.

I really enjoyed this. The only nitpick is you can render a level unsolvable if you let a peep go extinct on the previous level. I didn't realize peeps carry over. At first I was trying to make my missing green peep by sending mixed colors pick up the circles... :)"},{"author_name":"avh4","author_uid":"24856","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 1:11am","epoch":1377565560,"text":"Am I missing something?
