It took me some time to see something else but a bad cave-flyer in this game, but now I really like it.
One question though:
Why is there no music in your minimalistic games? Too minimalistic?
I found that playing some Piano by Steve Reich in the background while playing really raised the scores I achieved. Is sound something you'd consider for future games?
Namely, I don't really know how to make music and nor do I really have any musical ideas per se. If someone were to offer to work with me on sound for future games (or even adding to older games) I'd totally accept! Also, thank you for playing long enough to allow the game to sink in. Most people quit if they aren't grabbed in a few seconds and I think that holds back formal experimentation in games. (Just like attention span was the primary obstacle to the initial acceptance of minimalist music including the work of Steve Reich).

You just renamed this game and pretended it was about something.
I actually did tweak the gameplay and spacing. As for the name change, I was always vacillating between the original title, Boredom, and the current one, Steve Reich. Either way, the play of the game was always influenced by Steve Reich.
