How does the game fit the theme?
The goal of the game is to match all the shapes correctly as they appear. The narrator shape that appears at the beginning of the game gives you some advice, but should you trust it? The narrator continually tries to mess you up to stop you from beating the game, getting more aggressive as the game goes on.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I didn't make any of the sound assets, they were imported from the Unity Asset web.

Simple, colorful game. I liked it!
I was pretty bad at it, though. 🤪
I always lose right after the 3rd "dot", when the shapes are re-ordered and it gets faster.
For me, this works correctly in full-screen mode, but in non-full-screen some stuff is cut off. I think this may be the opposite of the problem some other people had?
Haha, nice baits. You need some quick fingers for this one. Great job on making the game.
Never have I ever imagined that I would be rage-baited by shapes. Reminds me of that one square hole video that eventually became a meme. Really fun, and the visuals were really nice too!
Loll thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the custom cursor art. I'm very slow to react on a lot of these moving shape, but solid concept nonetheless.
Oh my god, buttons switching places was evil. XD Fun game though!
It's a little difficult, but I like it quite a bit. Sometimes the dialogue text is blurry and also you should add transitions from scene to scene. Also, you should make the player able to change the keybinds cuz personally I think I would have a much better time with smth like arrow keys or wasd. Great game though!
Very difficult, but very nice game! After several attempts, I haven't managed to finish the game, I'm not capable of thinking that fast, hahaha, but I love how you've implemented the theme. Good job!!!
Nice and simple idea! You have to be pretty fast
nice one :)
I really liked the idea—it's a great game that I really enjoyed, especially when swapping the shapes around.
Surprisingly hard haha, but really fun!
Simple in concept, yet enjoyable game, I like it!
Maybe it’s missing some kind of checkpoint system, or perhaps after a game over, it should take half the time to get back to the point where you lost. It’s just that in the final stages after a defeat, when you’re sent back to the very beginning and have to replay the easier levels just to lose again on the fifth figure of the final stage, it feels like an eternity.
Oh, and one more thing: I like that the game has creative challenges, and you have to get used to the controls all over again each time. Plus, these challenges are added one at a time, so the game doesn't feel unfair
Thanks! Good point, I thought checkpoints might make it too easy to beat the game, but I definitely should've accounted for how annoying it would be to replay from the beginning every time haha.
Very cool idea. I love that is it so simple but still fun.
Also very creative how the difficulty goes up over time!
Great use of simple shapes and game mechanics! Awesome work!
Very difficult but i do like the gameplay a lot!
damn that is pretty hard. Really fun though!

cool game! pretty hard though
i enjoy reaction-based games like this, i had fun playing it. i had a few visual bugs with sprites being displaced (without fullscreen), but other than that no issues!
dang, what parts did you see the visual bugs? Thanks for trying the game!
More challenging than I excpected but very fun! It takes a small time to start after the animation where the figure gets bigger, not sure if it's just me but takes away some of the pacing in the game, also happens at the start of the game.
When he switched the buttons I reached through the screen and slapped that shape xD Great game!
Ha ha deserved. Thanks for trying it out!
Nice and very challenging!
