I found the actual gameplay mechanic pretty confusing. Maybe you could add more of an explanation here?

The game doesn't do a very good job of teaching you how it works.  I put levels in with the intention of teaching the play how to play, but it throws too much at you too fast.  It should have been spread out more."},{"author_name":"sP0CkEr2","author_uid":"7135","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:28am","epoch":1367374980,"text":"cool idea for a game -- had a lot of fun -- nice effort"},{"author_name":"lekochen","author_uid":"12928","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:35am","epoch":1367375400,"text":"I really like the mood and music, but I feel confusing."},{"author_name":"zatyka","author_uid":"14357","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 1:11am","epoch":1367456760,"text":"Like others, I found the game play a bit confusing.

It looks nice and you got some pretty good music out of audio-tracker! (If you didn't use audio-tracker, forgive me.)
