Agree with abyssoft's 1st comment but not the rest. I'm not a game developer, I'm "just" a "traditional" artist (that means I use paint, kids :-) but I know timed competitions can stimulate creativity, force innovation, and sometimes just provide the kick in the butt some of us creative types need to stop thinking and start working. Whether anyone likes the results or not is almost beside the point. Having said all that ... my response to the game was that the concept was too much "inside the box" to be interesting. Another 500 hours of coding won't change that.
You pretty much nailed it :) One learns a lot from these small projects, but most of all, it's FUN to create. Only uploaded it here for hosting.

I think people are not seeing the beauty of this game. There is no fluff. It's just a test of skill and endurance if you want to get a decent score. I grew up in the 80's in my local arcade and games like this bring me back to that time. As far as it being "art" or not remember this: Some of the greatest works of art are of the plainest things: Flowers by Van Gough, the Mona Lisa. Very plain subjects but done in a great way. That's how I see this game. The great music doesn't hurt, either.

Basic, but well polished and that solid gameplay and music keeps it interesting. Great use of theme.

Pretty fun, a few tweeks and a menu possibly an upgrade system and you would have an entire game right there.

Came back after all this time expecting to see my score beaten.
