I guess that is the end of 1-5? Time for 6-9.\r<br\/>- Still easy.\r<br\/>- Blue block. That's more like it.\r<br\/>- Time for 10-13.\r<br\/>- Green is a bit wacky, but I can see how this could be expanded.\r<br\/>- Time for 14-16. Wait, there's supposed to be music? I am only hearing the block-destroy effect.\r<br\/>- I am destroying everything. This seems unfocused.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You should definitely expand on this and give more audiovisual feedback to the player.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Things I would change:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Needs more audio. Player movement? What if the player tries to destroy but doesn't hit anything?\r<br\/>- Larger levels? Could go ring-wise down to the core of the level as you destroy layers (using whatever mechanic there is)."},{"author_name":"Xaychru04","author_uid":"16472","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 2:27pm","epoch":1367504520,"text":"Cool game, sometimes a little strange, but I like it :)"},{"author_name":"goerp","author_uid":"14225","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 6:42pm","epoch":1367519820,"text":"I very minimalistic puzzler indeed.
