Great game.
I truly loved this game. And i completely agree with what you said. There's beauty to simplicity. I completely agree. 10/10 5/5. And since im commenting i might has well give some ideas. I think you should add some more candy such has speed increase and any other ideas you think of for candies. Oh and you should make the shield last a tad longer. But other then that it was a absolutely great game. And good choice on basing the character on boo.
