    [beta] StarBlock

    Hello team,
    It's been a long time since I've posted, but I found a little bit of time to work on a couple ideas I've had and want to get some feedback back. StarBlock is a fast moving puzzler and has 50 levels completed. I'm open to any comments or suggestions.

    Nice idea! I quite like this, even though it's a bit hard for me. I like the music too (even though it goes a bit too hardcore dance for me after a while).

    Very original and challenging, I like it. Nice music too.

    If you're looking for constructive criticism:

    It took me a while to figure out the controls. At first I expected to need to click. And it wasn't obvious that the current path of the block had no effect on the new path.

    Also, the tiny blocks are hard to work with - can you save em for later levels and start with smaller blocks?

    Taels - What do you mean by "tiny blocks" and when you say "it wasn't obvious that the current path of the block had no effect on the new path" are you meaning that you thought it should bounce off of the same angle it came on? And thanks Cortana.

    Just that the blocks are small, and very precise mouse movement is required to deflect them at the right angle.

    And at first I thought that momentum would have some effect: if two blocks were deflected to the left, one previously moving left, the other moving right,
    the first block would be moving faster to the left.

    But the way you've done it is fine, and less complex.
