Really liked the music and general atmosphere of the game.
I didn't get the connection to the game jam theme. The game mechanic is nice, but gets tiring really fast, especially without different levels or change in difficulty. The game was overall nicely polished and have an interesting mechanic, but lacks an ending (losing/winning), nice work for a game made in solo!
- Too random. There is no way to predict what color will come next, neither are combinations or some cool plays you could do
- No progression. I reach 200pts and I got bored, it was the same pace.
The music added to the relaxing feel of the game. It would be nice to be able to lose! As far as I can tell you just keep playing until you don't anymore at the moment.
Also I would second the suggestion above about being able to draw a continuous line while changing colors -- that would be very cool!
The design is OK-ish, but it's weird it it draws from one end and it's not entirely clear which one. Styling the cursor as a magic wand or pencil with clear "drawing end" would do a lot for the game!
Also, what's the connection with the theme?
I however like the audio, a lot!
