I found it confusing at first that you used arrow keys, which are stacked on the keyboard, instead of four keys in a row like ASDF, since the teeth are laid out in a row, but my mind slowly mapped and caught on. Were the drops preprogrammed to follow particular beats in the song or randomly generated? Excellent bubbles, the graphics while playing were nice, the menus were a little pixelated.

Enjoyed playing it. Love this genre and you created a very nice game in it. I really played several times just for the sake of playing, this how much i liked it. Cool songs on levels.\nAnd also, i really liked that you've created a game with such a morale. Saving planet from destructive human activities is very important and it's my pleasure to see this topic here, in games you create. If it appeared even in our favourite media (talking about games) this means that we still can save the Earth. \nCongratulations!

I'm not good at these types of games, but I was happy to complete the easiest level the second time I tried. The idea of growing up the arrows due to the pile of trash making you have a shorter time to react and I presume have to catch them out of sync with what might else have been easier was a really cool idea.\n\nFirst time I played I lost after having filled up only the bottom two levels and the game didn't give me any warning that it was a fail condition. Maybe it said something to the side, but I had no attention to spare, so if there's a limit where you loose that is further down than the top-most possible, I think there should be something of a dashed line to let the player know what type of margin they have. It also helps staying more focused if and make it more exciting if you _know_ that you can't afford a single mistake.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sibi","author_uid":"1052803","time":"2018-08-26T17:54:39Z","epoch":1535306079,"modified":1535306079,"text":"@local-minimum You probably encountered the second lose condition which happens when your score gets too far into the negatives.
