You need to evolve your polygon, but this mission won't be easy at all!
I strongly recommend to see the help menu and play with sound. Enjoy!

Curti. Principalmente a música! Só ficou meio difícil de ver se vinha triangulo ou traço e por onde, as vezes precisa de um pouco de sorte. Valeu!
Very innovative gameplay, also, very nice music. Congrats!
Really great game. Your strong point was definitely innovation. Very nice music and really hard. Congratz.
Thanks dudes! The game is really hard, but after some minutes you realize tricks to evolve your polygon. In fact, the Pentagon level is insane! :)
This is an awesome idea and well implemented but sooooooo hard. It totally rocked the theme :) Definitely one of the better entries i've played! The only nitpick i have is that the music, while catchy, didn't seem to fit with the graphics or gameplay to me. Overall it's an outstanding game though - nice work!
Very fun to play, but a little bit hard. Probably the most challenging entry I played so far. Nice work!
Very unique and fun! Couldn't get past the triangle though :(
Really really cool, had fun, could get to Square so far. I'll try to finish it later (is there an end?).
I really like that the game is really freaking hard, and I think you can explore it really well in a Super hexagon-esque kind of way.
I really liked the song, but I don't know if it fits.
Great exploration of theme. Congrats.
It's very very hard! Even after reading help and thinking I got it, I couldn't get to better shapes. Interesting & minimalist concept!
Good feel I like It a lot but it's hard in a good way. No wtf loses.
Well done: completely minimalist, but original and... it works!
Couldn't get past the triangle too :p
Man, this is good! :)
It looks easy but then you realize how hard it is. You have to pay attention all the time. Realy nice!
And thanks for the comment!! :)
Thanks everyone for the comments! I really enjoyed to make this game and maybe I'll keep working on it :)
The music and sounds fit the concept very well. It is rather catchy to keep on toggling to collect/avoid stuff. Challenging game!
Wow, really nice concept! Great game and well fit to the theme!
I guess the level difficulties are scalating really quickly, though. I missed some sort of health to check the progression to switch geometric forms.
Really cool and well ambiented music. Congratulations! 5 star overrall for me! ;)
Concept is great but game is buggy. Collision detection is inadequate...
Good game, anyway :^)
Great music. good mechanic. You're right, you better read the instructions :) I found it very hard because the pieces move too fast? Every time I leveled up I lost that level a few times before maintaining it. Made it to square and stopped.
@SaintHeiser: I agree with you about the collision. It's sth that I'll improve asap.
@GeorgeBroussard: My objective was create a really hard game, but now I know that game needs adjustments in progress to improve the experience.
Interesting concept, a bit hard but fun. Fits the theme perfectly
Wow. This is hard. Enjoyable though. Nice atmosphere created.
I love the (simple) concept! Graphics are also very nice. It can be a bit hard, but that's part of the challenge!
Good job :)
Beautiful graphics, innovative, fits the theme, nice audio and even fun. But it was quite difficult ;)
Very unique experience, excellent design. Would like to see this concept expanded.
This was fun enough as just a line, but the evolving aspect made it even better. I kind of wish you had a healthbar instead of a timer though, so that skilled players could theoretically keep on playing forever. That's just a minor thing though that didn't really subtract from the experience.
Marvelously crafted game right here, folks. Give it a whirl.
It's actually more fun than it looks! Gameplay is basic but solid.
The dots hitboxes could be bigger and/or the rotation speed could be faster: it would decrease the difficulty a bit, and the frustration of not being able to catch a figure because you can't turn fast enough, but without reducing the fun. Right now, I was kinda frustrated.
But that's balance and tweaking, almost nitpicking for a 48h entry. Apart from that, that's one of the best entries I've played so far. Especially, I can't believe you managed to create such a catchy and fitting tune in so little time without cutting other things. Your concept is elegant, original and well made, and you used the theme almost magically. Congratulations.
Thanks dudes! I am really happy with the feedbacks and I am thinking to keep working on it to launch for mobile and web!
One of the best entries for me so far, just because so many things about it were right:
The jazzy music, the minimal but nice graphics, the originality,
All in all a great package.
Very unique gameplay, nice art style and superb music. Congratulations ;)
Full marks for innovation and theme! Great idea that could use some balancing, but you have a really neat concept that I can see becoming very successful with the right additions. Maybe some kind of indicator for what is about to appear... like a brief flash in the area that the object is either going to start or end up. And maybe timing based spawning with the music to get the player into a rhythm of being able to spin the shape and turn on/off the outline for bouncing or capturing. Again, great innovation! Good job!
I got 6 points!!lol.
Simple yet brilliant!
I like the music, it's really awesome!
Good job :p
Really hard! I maked a triangle once. But only once. But concept is really interesting!
Woah this is tough, I can get to the square, but just barely. Would enjoy playing for longer than the time limit allowed. Good use of the theme. Fun stuff!
The difficulty is insane, it's really hard to kill the right shapes. Got the pentagon, but was loosing it constantly. I liked the simplistic approach.
Rafael, this is an amazing game. Congrats. Its very addicted. I think you my evolve the concept. Again, congrats bro. Please play and rate my game. ;)
Great design (destruction effect for example), the level time is a bit long.
Interesting game. I thought it was too easy at first. Then it got harder.
Too difficult, but still beautiful and innovative, it just needs a little tweaking ;D Maybe with a slower speed would be enough.
very nice!
I don't usually look into instructions, so it took me a while to realize that spacebar did anything else (lol)
nice use of the theme and nice mechanics! Its a pretty fun game =]
Great use of the theme and while it was challenging, I gotta score you high on innovation because of the concept.
took me to a while to get the hang of it... but once I did, had a blast. it's a real think fast game and i love that. good job!
Great concept! Would have liked to collect fewer shapes to evolve, but it was very fun.

You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Its good, but soooooo difficult! couldnt get past the triangle and I kept on rolling back to a line :S
