It's a bit of a shame that there wasn't any music since I think it could have benefited from some light ambient stuff.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think you should expand the idea further in a post compo version. I would love to see a level editor and some music.

Without counting those blank spots as credit, I was getting negative scores.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>If I ignored the blank spaces in scoring totally, you could then just spam the bored and make a giant single colored block in the earlier levels.
