Good fun. Would have been nice if removing the blocks felt meatier in some way.

As @tednesday says, a little bit more juicy (combo, etc) would have really improve the game! The concept is neat! Well done :smiley:

@tednesday @goutye Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to improve it after voting ends.

Simple and pretty fun, maybe it could speed up a bit after a while so it ends sooner.

Intense as hell but once you knew the controls, you could pretty much keep it empty all the time. Still a fun game. Good job.

Nicely done! Fun little game. I liked the drop shadow effect on the visuals.

Only suggestion I can think of is having the controls displayed matching arrow key layout for quicker reference (up above left/down/right). Really liked the concept.

Very fun game, really liked the use of the theme. Maybe the game should be a little slower at the start, because it takes a while to get used to the controls. But nice game! :)

It's quite compulsive! I got into a rhythm and could keep the stack empty without too much trouble, so maybe it should get faster or something. The sound effects are just right and the graphics are simple but effective. Nice work!

Wow, super interesting.
I'm very impressed at how fast your game teaches its controls. It becomes super intuitive. Great work!

Saw a gif of your game on Twitter. Awesome to see it working. It's amazingly addictive and fun. Nice! :)

The difficulty caps, and that cap is too low. I let me die when the score overflowed. I also played with a Pop'n Music controller. It could be fun but again, it's too easy. But I missed the perfect 32767.

Pretty fun. I found the perspective a bit tricky sometimes, would be nice to get a top down look. I liked the Squarepusher-esque music.

Pretty cool! I would consider adding a color blind mode and/or add arrows to the block designs. Challenging and fun little game.

Good entry! I liked how the pace increases steadily, making it more challenging. I noticed that the arrow-colour mappings change with each game, and then thought it could be interesting to do that inside the game at specific times to give a bit more variety.

Also, a pretty straightforward interpretation of the theme. Nice job overall! :D
