There is one thing I think that could have been done better: It is kinda fun going from a rectangle to another but that is pointless as in the end what matters is not the time you spent in the right color but if you are in the right rectangle by the last second which means that the best thing to do is wait in the center and at the last second go to the right color or try to catch the lock. What I think that would make things more intresting is awarding score for the time you spend in the right color, more areas with different colors and the lock could be just temporary because after you get it there is no point to the game, it's already won."},{"author_name":"panurge","author_uid":"21166","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 4:17pm","epoch":1377879120,"text":"Fun and stylish but the gameplay could have been a little more varied.
