I love this game so much. It is a basic idea but it was done very well. Great simplistic art style. I was impressed by the game's ability to save, restart and reload. The only issue I encountered was a small bug, my character got stuck whenever I collided with a corner. Very well done!"},{"author_name":"nesis","author_uid":"2726","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 4:41am","epoch":1461040560,"text":"A really nice idea for a puzzle game. I liked the way you lead the player through the mechanics, and upped the ante with each new challenge. The last puzzle was a good jump in complexity for me, and is a good way of showing the player where this mechanic can lead :)\r\rI ran into a small glitch, by the way - I was moving at close to max speed and got stuck on a corner. I couldn't move, so I had to reset. The corner was an L shape, I was coming at it going diagonally up-right. (Don't worry, I didn't vote you down for it!)\r\rOver all, well done! Really good, and doubly so considering that it's your first attempt at a puzzle game."},{"author_name":"LudumAnthony","author_uid":"89892","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 12:39am","epoch":1461112440,"text":"I would really like to finish before I rate, so can someone help me beat this level: http:\/\/i.pxl.lt\/BPU3Os.png\r\rI tried spamming between the circle and the triangle to "confuse" it as the wonky shape but I guess that's not right :("},{"author_name":"purrpurr","author_uid":"18116","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 12:46am","epoch":1461112860,"text":"@LudumAnthony The 'control's listed above should help you out.

Would have loved to see some more challenging levels.

I've found the sound effects to be a bit too loud, especially compared to the soundtrack. The mechanics were rather interesting, having shapes buffer to swap different shapes around was an interesting twist, but ability to combine and separate the current shapes is what made things really neat. I think that, in general, it's an idea that's worth expanding upon.\r\rOverall, you've made your point."},{"author_name":"TheCain","author_uid":"87568","time":"May 4, 2016 @ 1:23am","epoch":1462324680,"text":"Wow, what a smart game.

I would have liked to see it explored a bit further, though. Maybe just one more level but extra difficult. I still enjoyed it a lot though. Also, props for including music and sound effects, the music really helped set the right kind of puzzle-solving mood. Also, it was nice that the download was so small and fast!"},{"author_name":"OnlySlightly","author_uid":"1959","time":"May 10, 2016 @ 12:22am","epoch":1462839420,"text":"Loved it!
