Quite Cool
It was very nice to play this game, but still i felt that it was a little bit to hard..
Overall the game was very Original and the Gameplay was very different
Reviews for "colourPod"
well programmed, exciting game
Nice game! Its a new concept, I havn't seen it anywhere before. Its well programmed from what I can see, its easy to learn and its addictive. The only downside is the graphics, I thought they could be improved slightly but overall its a very good game.
Well done!
Wooh :)
I was pleasantly surprised by the use of imogen heap's song, I love her, and her songs. That remix was nice, and the game, well I didn't survive past level 4. Is there no way to restore the meter once it has been reduced?

Imogen Heap is awesome. Pretty much. You start to regenerate life when you get the green powerup
good stuff
Enjoyable for a while, interesting use of powerups too.
Could have been improved in a couple of areas (just my opinion):
- some subtle sound effects might have evoked a bit more feeling while playing. The song was good, so any effect should be muted and not too distracting.
- maybe just one continue, as dying and restarting currently gives me no urge to play it again.
- perhaps movement of the colourPod itself? I know it would change the gameplay quite substantially, but using the arrow keys or WSAD to move your colourPod around the screen might make things very interesting. It would avoid frustration when you have to shoot a colour pixel because there is a white one right behind it. this way, the pixels can be just moving randomly about the space, and not all traveling to the centre - allowing the player a bit more freedom.
Either way, these are just my thoughts, and in no way do i think the game is bad. I quite enjoyed my play through, and i think there's potential to make something really great.
Bless.
I appreciate the meticulous scaling of difficulty the game provides, but overall it's rather unforgiving. You need to catch basically every colored orb just to be powered up enough to survive. Meanwhile, you get a solid 10-15 hits before you die and there is no way to recover health until the 5th or so level.
