Think preventing shifting of lines\/rows if a shape on that line\/row is touching the side of the screen would add a lot of brainstorming needed.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than that, very cool and clean :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>++"},{"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"50889","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 8:28am","epoch":1460967780,"text":"A really great puzzle game."},{"author_name":"[email\u00a0protected]","author_uid":"50159","time":"Apr 18, 2016 @ 8:38am","epoch":1460968380,"text":"Really nice game even if a bit unintuitive at first.

The concept is awesome, and it's a lot of fun to play. The challenge doesn't reveal itself till later on when you realize that you have to pay attention to a lot of things, which is realloy cool. The sound effects were good too. \r<br\/>The rules were a little hard to understand, but I guess that is the point since we need to figure out what is the best thing to do. \r<br\/>Overall, great, fun puzzle game! :) Great work!"},{"author_name":"kestrelgames","author_uid":"92262","time":"Apr 21, 2016 @ 2:56am","epoch":1461207060,"text":"Love the presentation!
