This is an insanely fast-paced block matching game. Don't worry so much about planning which groups of blocks to click (to get them to vanish), but rather go click crazy to try and beat the clock! As blocks are destroyed the rest fall to the ground, whack the space bar to shuffle them around if you get truly stuck.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.

Possibly creator?

If he claims it, I'll edit the post I'm amazed people can enter games into a competition and not include a single thing anywhere that says who made it!

I must be getting old (well yes I am) but I found the time limits so short that trying to use any sort of planning was replaced with random clicking. Shame really.

Anyway I really love the gfx, and the sound is great.

i just wish I was a bit faster so I could fully appreciate the gameplay.

I really liked this game, just for the simplicity of the whole thing.

Very rarely see such large clean graphics flying about the screen with no jerkiness at all.

I rated it 7th in my list - just outside voting range - sorry.

I found it a little too fast paced but other than that it is a pretty good game.

This is a very nice game, and might get a vote from me... I'm not sure yet. But it totally feels like one of those great yahoo/miniclip online timewaster puzzle games. Its so insanely, pointlessly simple... but I can't stop playing it! It gets hard around levels 6-8, but then gets easier. Unfortunately, it begins to lag like crazy around level 16-18.(I gave up at 18)

Whether I vote or not, Nice job!

Ack! One negative though, the 4 second music loop drives me crazy... especially in the longer, later levels!

I thought the graphics were very smooth, font was awesome. Music was fitting with the frantic pace of it but got annoying after a while. I noticed that the score is kind of meaningless as even when you game-over and start a new game, you get last game's score!

And as everyone says... too fast. There should have been a difficulty setting where you get more time, for less points.

I'm not a real programmer but I play one with DBPro!

One of the reasons why so many puzzle games are on the internet is because many of them are so easy to use 5 year olds can play them. This game is great because is so easy to play and addictive. The graphics are cool too. I bet with a little more polish (like animations for the blocks) you could sell this game. It gets my 2nd place vote.

Thanks a lot everyone. Been on holiday in France for a couple of weeks but, yes, this game is mine (especially chuffed you guys managed to guess it was me!)

This compo started out kinda small scale but I think it's turned out really well. Because it's more community-y, and the prizes are smaller it has a nicer feel to it. Not like the Alienware one.... the aftermath to that was pretty ugly.

Fingers crossed for maintaining my 100% compo rate.

Now off to play all the others.

I haven't, but what's to stop me voting my own game first?

Reminds me of a flash game called Spore Cubes, nicely presently and plays quite well, but it didn't really take me as well as some of the others. I'd've put this in 5th place but there's no option for that, sorry chris.

I don't suffer from insanity - I enjoy every minute of it!

Some good fast gameplay in there, and clear chunky graphics. Music is suitably frantic too. A nicely presented simple game

Once I was but the learner, now, I am the Master.
See my site for amazing games and demos!

Pro's:
Sexy graphics, and mad-fun playing!
Music was totally apt, and made the whole thing more fun and heart-pounding!
Sound effects were nice

Con's:
Not much of a puzzle element, as it's usually luck of the draw as to if you can actually finish a level or not.

Comment:
Replayability to the max, especially if you want to kill two minutes before you head off to work or some-such!
The only thing is that it's not a puzzle game, so that kinda puts it out of the competition for me.
