An Ok start
^^Good Points^^
This is a fun, quick little game. It's not complicated at all, and is nice for a short little play for anyone. The game gets harder pretty quickly so there is challenge for everyone. I enjoyed playing the game, but it can use some improvements.
^^Needs Improving^^
This could use some funky music (even though you already took that suggestion in to the second one). Basically, everything wrong with this was taken care of, so I won't continue.
interesting
very interesting game, but could it be any easier?..
Very, very good game.
Just for the record skears/rol-ovir wasn't inspired by this. I hadn't played this until earlier this year.
Anyway, this really does the endless collecting/avoiding thing brilliantly. Movement is at its most basic and there is a small element of chance later on, but the scoring is immediately intuitive and works brilliantly whilst there is a risk/reward factor associated with going to the edges.

It really is elegant in its simplicity. 4 squares of each colour at any one time. One moving in each direction.
The score in grey in the middle. The cursor acting both as a gamepiece and also as an illustration of the colour to be collected.
The font (verdana?) works well, although I'd change the serif font so it's all sans-serif.
The two ways in which difficulty increases work brilliantly together and the presentation of the 2 different scores allow for different playing strategies and different objectives.

The way you have the each square worth more points than the previous one is a good move and helps keep the squares a viable source of points later on, whilst the single point added on every so often really does open up the doors for multiple strategies...

One thing I've noticed is that black squares go over red ones. It seems it should be the other way round - it seems unfair to hide a hazard from your eyes.
Still not managed to get over 10,000 as I hoped to, but I've been playing for over an hour now...
It's a brilliant game.
Sort out the blacks going over reds and it would be nigh on perfect.
Removing any serifs within the text would make it all conform to the elegant simplicity which flows throughout the whole game.
Well, I suppose the crown of 'top level-based selectively-collecting-things-with-the-mouse game' is still up for grabs...
Stay funky,

not bad
it was an alright game, good way to kill a few minutes, but it really needed audio of some kind.
KICK ASS DUDE!
IT"S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it gets really hard when you get a shit load of squares. i had 76427 points and my square was about a third of the screen lol.
Great game
