Very cool to make an Android game, and a networked one at that :)

Fun game, it's been a while since I've done anything for the Android but I imagine it's still quite the achievement to make a game for that in 2 days, especially with the leaderboards (which I reached 3rd place on when I played it earlier. Woo!).

Can't really think of any issues. I was going to complain that I couldn't figure out how I was shooting squares instead of circles, and couldn't make triangles appear at all, but then I noticed that you explained all that here. An in-game help screen to explain this too would be nice.

I love this game!! I'm actually gonna keeping it on my phone to play every once in a while lol. It's a lot of fun to play and has just the right amount of challenge. The acceleration rate was just right so that it's not boring int he beginning for too long and it doesn't get really hard all of a sudden. The concept is just cool and innovative. The rules were easy to grasp and the controls were smooth. I tried so hard but I'm still not top 3 :( it's so hard to get past that 12000...
The left hand control slacks a little bit, unless that was intentional, which would make sense too. Other than that, it was just overall a great, fun game! Awesome job!

Nice. Network able games like this are really cool you should put it on play store if you have not yet.

I really liked the multi touch input. It created an interesting challenge dynamic.

Using different number of fingers to shoot different shapes was an interesting mechanic. It also meant that the triangle was kind of the hardest one with three fingers. For some reason the game started lagging quite much on my poor phone if I shot too many shapes (tapping quickly). Sometimes tapping quickly wirth one finger shot other shapes as well but this might be related to the lag.

The pace gets quite fast, so it's not too easy either. Nice game!
