Nice looking, but...
Hey Josh, I am a huge fan of puzzle games, but I came across some problems with this one. First off I would want to commend you on your efforts on this game, the graphics are clean and the interface is smooth...real bubbly. The major problem with the game, as stated by other reviewers are the controls. They are very awkward. I may have been easier to implement the arrow keys or aswd (left, down, change comination, right). The game shows some slowdown while you are absorbing also, almost like a pause in the game. A few times my 'plops' weren't being absorbed *yeah, I know it sounds funny* due to the (sometimes) unresponsive controls, which also affected the direction of 'plop' movement. All in all, the game was a good effort, but a little too plain Jane in terms of sound effects and visuals that make will want a gamer to replay it over and over again. Yes, one can say that even Tetris didn't have a fantastic soundtrack...but it had unbelievable gameplay. I hope this helps you along the way to making a great game.
