My biggest gripe is that it can be kind of clunky to control. Good job!"},{"author_name":"KilledByAPixel","author_uid":"2075","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:57pm","epoch":1367272320,"text":"Awesome visuals! Reminded me of Mondrian's painting: Sea and Dock. The gameplay was simple but interesting and unique. Better indicating the next line type is needed or maybe if it just alternated so you would always know. Also you need to increase the difficulty, there needs to be more ways a player can mess up and more rules about what you can do. For example maybe you always have to connect one line with another (you cant put it on empty space), maybe you aren't allowed to add to figures once they are made, maybe you aren't allowed to create closed off spaces, etc."},{"author_name":"Rubi","author_uid":"4041","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 11:12pm","epoch":1367276820,"text":"Thank you very much everyone for play my game, I love your comments... these make me really happy!"},{"author_name":"Felix20","author_uid":"6525","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:50am","epoch":1367286300,"text":"That was a nice relaxing game.

Very artistic and relaxing. The only thing that put me off a bit was the constant fading in and out. I get why it was there, but it didn't feel like it was occurring at a constant rate. Sometimes I would see my lines draw before the fade out completed, whereas other times the line would draw once the screen was completely black.\r\rGreat job though!"},{"author_name":"berkano","author_uid":"11027","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 10:15pm","epoch":1367359800,"text":"Lovely concept and relaxing to play!
