It is simple to handle (best I've seen so far), catchy, has cool music and is not overloaded with useless graphics.\rHowever, the respect of the theme is a big no-no for me. The "bad orb" and "nice cubes" does not make the game fit the imposed theme, at all. Just my opinion though.\rBut overall, the near-perfect gameplay would make it a hit on the Play Store or the Apple Store I'm sure."},{"author_name":"ZzCalvinzZ","author_uid":"17290","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 5:28pm","epoch":1440609780,"text":"super fun....doesn't fit the theme though"},{"author_name":"allinlabs","author_uid":"2908","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 10:46pm","epoch":1440628860,"text":"I've enjoyed your games since The Last Survivor.

The theme is purely supposed to help people come up with new ideas \/ inspiration.\r\rIf the theme isn't doing that, or is actually preventing people from making games due to disliking the theme, I heartily encourage all of you to drop the theme and make whatever you want as long as you make a game. That's why we are all here, to make games. \r\rI will probably never win a Ludum Dare as a result but I do make games that I am proud of and to me that is more important ^__^"},{"author_name":"dancingmad","author_uid":"39644","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 1:10pm","epoch":1440680700,"text":"Great concept but difficulty is sometimes too hard.\rBut the game is good and I finished it ; my score is 543.702."},{"author_name":"RockhopperGames","author_uid":"46057","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 3:02pm","epoch":1440687420,"text":"Pretty awesome little action-puzzler! The mechanics are creative, and the graphics and sound match to form a rather striking whole.\r\rPersonally, I'd prefer a game which ignores the theme to one that tries to force the theme in in a really hamfisted way. If you don't want to use the theme, you could disable the theme catagory for judging, just to make it clear that it's not a game about a metaphorical monster or something. ; )"},{"author_name":"paracatgames","author_uid":"35401","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 12:17am","epoch":1440720720,"text":"Cool game!
