I love it. I wish in arcade mode the shapes coming at you didn't change. It really took away from the pacing for me.

Meh, it's very "flat". There's no depth in the gameplay and gets old after just a little while.

This was surprisingly fun! The little subtitles for each level add a nice touch. I loved figuring out what they "meant".

I wish that the levels were exactly the same, meaning they would come from the same direction. It seemed like the order was the same but not direction. That would help get into that "zen" type memorization experience.

Nice work!

Diabolical!! Deceptively simple at first, and then it gets very challenging. And then level 3 hits. Loved it.

This was heaps of fun! The controls were done really well and I love when the objects move faster and it turns into a mini rhythm game.

Awesome job, keep on developing it. It'll be an awesome mobile game.

Nice little game with very strong mechanics. Even though the art style is fairly basic, I think it works very well with this sort of game as it helps to isolate the objects and be instantly aware of any changes that may be occurring.

Very well- made minimalistic game, and the level progression is very well-designed in that the difficulty ramps out gradually in each one :D

Dunno why but it reminded me of the Undyne fight in Undertale :P

Could maybe use some background music?

Cool entry, good luck!

This is so addicting! I like the old-fashioned arcade design. The shape shift level is hard but very fun to play :)

Good use of the theme, the game felt polished with a nice menu and the different game modes. It got pretty challenging on the 3 level, the shape shifting level. :-)
Good job!

Now you are ready for the arcade mode... not, you are not hahaha really good game. It is very simple but I enjoyed a lot and it is probably the best one I have played at the moment. Nice done.

Thanks JoseArias I am working on a post Jam version and have tamed down the difficulty curve on arcade mode. It's still pretty brutal though.

the concept is simple and fun! i would change the shapes to look a Little more like pixel art to fit with the whole art of the game!

nice simple game. kinda would be cool if it was a musical game, with each shape being a note in a song

Simple game but kind of slow

If anyone else is finding the game kind of slow please stick it out to level 3 at least (with no mistakes this takes 67 seconds). The difficulty does ramp up and the game develops. Alternatively try giving arcade mode a go, it is anything but slow.

The game is pretty simple and I kinda like the simplicity of it. Would be nice with more sounds and stuff, to actually make a tune
