I love this game.
Only complaint is that when the screen is white, it hurts my eyes.
I'd recommend an option to chose different colors, and how dark they are, so people with more sensitive eyes can enjoy this game better.
Really great suggestion! I had been considering porting this game to Xbox Live Arcade and had already considered that on a big TV the colors would be too harsh, but I hadn't realized it would be an issue on computer monitors, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'm really sorry for any discomfort the game caused you, and my recommendation would be to turn your screen brightness down.

This game is a lot of fun and I enjoy the color switching feature which makes it more challenging and enjoyable. I also appreciate the two sets of keys on the left and right side for those who use the right. Keep up the great work Sharmandra.
Thanks a lot, I made it halfway through the game and then realized how "left-handed unfriendly" it was, so I went back in and put in support for the additional set of keys.

Nice, solid game, but it didn't keep me interested for long. 3.5/5
Sorry to hear that, but I hope you enjoyed it for the period of time you did play it, and thanks for taking the time to try it out!

awesome music, very addicting. I also agree with the white light and how bright it is.
This weekend, I'm going to try look into some sort of brightness control or screen overlay to lower the contrast a bit, hopefully I find a good solution!
