It may just be that I don't play a ton of puzzle games, but I've never come across this &quot;make efficient use of these templates&quot; kind of thing before. It felt surprisingly well-balanced given the time limit. And it makes great creative use of the minimal graphical style. Overall super impressed! My one complaint is that the &quot;shoom&quot; sound effect that plays when you click gets a little tiring."},{"author_name":"Nakato","author_uid":"13667","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 12:41pm","epoch":1367238960,"text":"goob job, great graphics &amp; concept !"},{"author_name":"caranha","author_uid":"7847","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 1:49pm","epoch":1367243040,"text":"Nice puzzle game :-) the sound effects were really nice, and the tutorials gave me all info that I needed.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A few small points that I think could improve the game:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>* I REALLY liked the graphics for the neon squares, and the blue background - that said, I think the fond contrasts a bit too much with the rest of the game - maybe you could pick some other font that fits better with the rest of your design? Or maybe if you blur the current font a little bit. Not sure.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>* When you click a Shape, the shape cursor appears somewhere else on the screen. Maybe the shape cursor should appear just under the mouse cursor? It feels more natural to me that way.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"Tiago Ling Alexandre","author_uid":"10988","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:37pm","epoch":1367253120,"text":"Nice game, congrats!"},{"author_name":"kewry","author_uid":"12789","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 5:57pm","epoch":1367257920,"text":"Nice game"},{"author_name":"Ernyz","author_uid":"2537","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 6:31pm","epoch":1367259960,"text":"Simple but addicting, fits the theme well :)"},{"author_name":"Jellycakes","author_uid":"13474","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:13pm","epoch":1367269680,"text":"Really nicely made game.

If you forget to set the goal for a level and get like \"8\/0\" score, wipe that line from the scores.txt. I was going to add online level sharing and what not, but that's seriously out of scope within 48 hours!)<\/p>","title":"Neonisation"}
