I think it would've been cool for plus\/minus to cycle once a minimum\/max number of vertices is reached, or right click for minus, left for plus.

I loved it!\r<br\/>There was a issue nonetheless: the fact that you have to change the state to shoot makes the game unnecessary harder.

This is an interesting situation you've built with it, but it might be more enjoyable with a more gradual ramp up of difficulty. Maybe introducing shapes coming at different intervals at certain difficulty levels could be an interesting way of varying difficulty. For instance, on some levels, you could have pairs of shapes come down with very little between them, but give them time to catch their breath after each pair.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>On the whole, you've made quite the interesting little action puzzler here!"},{"author_name":"A-Flat Miner Studios","author_uid":"42150","time":"May 7, 2016 @ 6:05pm","epoch":1462644000,"text":"Great tunes and sound work!
