Forms LD48 by Prudiiarca
Finally this is the result of my weekend. There could be 255 levels, but at the moment there are only 23.
You can gather detailed information about this project in the info.txt or ingame via 'Esc' + 'Help'.
Note: I tested this at my windows pc and my mac. At Macintosh there were a few problems with the keyinput I couldn't fix yet. The important things work so far that I can upload it for mac too. Because I have no Linux pc yet i can't guarantee it works there too, but if you want test it out and send me a message at twitter (@prudiiarca).

Would have been nice with some audio, and less contrasting graphics.
What I find essential to puzzle games is that when you figure out the solution, you can do it quickly. In this game it is very easy to figure out the optimal solution for the first level, but it takes way too long to do. I got bored half-way.
The first level could be way smaller and the ship faster.
The snowflake graphics was stylish and the music was fitting, though quite sad.
This game was great. It was original and I liked the bakground music. The first level was quite long and it could had instructions about the green bullet.
@tankete I didn't notice that yet, it's a bug.
@infernet89 Just recognized there's a failure in my sound code. Thank you, i'll fix that immediately
@MuffinTrap You're right, i failed the first level. But i've noticed that AFTER uploading so i couldn't change it. Moreover i became a little stressed by having virus issues that i simply forgot to introduce (explain) the green bullet.
@Doublecaster thank you very much. But the public folder doesn't exist anymore so i have to find another solution. Any suggestions?
The gameplay itself was a bit tedious, maybe start with a smaller square for the first puzzle, because for the most part you're just slowly filling in a large square without much strategy. Only when you get to varying shapes does it start to get interesting.
Nevermind, I decided to try one more time as I was writing this, and I just realized that the ship will move all the way around the puzzle. That makes things much easier, but I still didn't get very far before getting bored lol. At least now that seems mostly because of my preferences and not because of the game design itself.
