I've now played the web version. it was an interesting concept but would have benefitted from clearer UI and a few levels to play through to introduce concepts instead of just throwing everything into the tutorial level.

Cool game. I didn't understand what was happening though. The arrow block went back and forth a bunch of times and then I got taken to a new level, but I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or how the game is supposed to be. Otherwise I love the concept and originality!
The game mechanic it's super interesting and leaves many possibilities but I think a big reason players would quit the game is because of the tutorial and the background. The background is really confusing and it even makes the tutorial harder to read. The tutorial is a block of text making it boring to read.
If you fix those two problems you can even make a full game with this mechanic but for now, I would really appreciate it if you would give feedback and rate my game too.
Not sure if it's the web build, but the game won't let me be in a level for more than 5 sec before shuffling me to another one. Maybe I'm missing something?
I like the moving towards the mouse part from the tutorial, I hoped to see some interesting levels.
I tried downloading the game and got the same "this is dangerous" message that ImaCupaJoe got. I overrode it and windows security immediately detected a dangerous virus in the downloaded content called "Virus:VBS/Ramnit.gen!A". Thankfully it got caught before it could infect my computer. So, uuuh. I guess this is awkward.
I cant vote on this because google wont let me download it, it says its dangerous and google wont give me the option to work around it.
