Took a second to notice the twist. Think it could benefit from a bit tighter control, seemed like there was a tiny bit of lag when pressing keys and seeing movement. Also, progressively increasing the snake speed and starting with fewer prisms to fill would be good. Also, was tough when I needed a final color and had to just spin around to collect\/dump colors until the one I needed was there. Similarly, it was weird when I had no color that I would erase my previously saved colors."},{"author_name":"Yakka","author_uid":"13985","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 1:59pm","epoch":1367589240,"text":"Interesting concept."},{"author_name":"Diamonde","author_uid":"19050","time":"May 4, 2013 @ 6:53pm","epoch":1367693280,"text":"This was too hard for me, but I liked the concept alot!"},{"author_name":"Sylvain.p","author_uid":"20862","time":"May 14, 2013 @ 8:47pm","epoch":1368564120,"text":"Interresting idea, good work."}],"images":["ld26\/5380-bfe6404f7cecebf63336ad11e2e72f47.jpg","ld26\/5380-cf0f308f2262176d42bd7633154398fd.jpg","ld26\/5380-f881fa13aad6ad8fd4a70057cc6402d5.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/dqk94h0f71cnt7v\/prism.rar?m","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/dniy3hyagx34xbv\/source.rar","text":"Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/java.com\/en\/download\/index.jsp","text":"Latest Java"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/axp84enuwolmq54\/prism-post.rar","text":"Windows-fix"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"26778","g_author":"5380","g_event":"LD26","g_eventkey":"16","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"26808","g_title":"Prism","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1018","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/5380-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/5380-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/233892\/5380-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is my second Ludum Dare entry.\r\nUnfortunately, I did not have enough time to make music.
