I don't really feel particular urge to keep playing, though, and at some points the shapes become just too fast (especially when there are combos of two). Maybe add multiple lives (or a gradually replenishing health bar...?) so that a single skip doesn't end the game altogether?"},{"author_name":"Sean","author_uid":"50235","time":"Apr 22, 2016 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1461359040,"text":"It's a nice start, but there really wasn't much to it.
