Very nice, unique and interesting idea! Respect for the Author, too bad that isn't mentioned who made this. The game itself sometimes even helps the player, because the color "pools" can move from place to place. It is also important to look around in some levels, because after being sure that you already passed a level you may come to a conclusion: What? There was something in this corner? ;-)

There is only one thing I hate about this game: the menu and the situation when you die and want to flap just one more time... the game instantly brings your cursor to the facebook link and you accidentally click it. What is this, a "cunning" method to gain some more facebook clicks? What a player wants is to restart the game, switch the facebook and try again buttons.

A small nice game! Only 2 things:
1. I think there is a bug, because I earned the medal for finishing the game after I died for the first time;
2. It is a bad thing that I cannot move while setting up a present.

The worst thing about this game is the fact that you actually have to GUESS what is on the next stage. Hit detection is only a bit better than in the Flames. You probably meant to create something challenging but instead you made a frustrating game, which the players will likely rage-quit...

I definitely like the idea! Adding the gravity control is a good thing, enables the player to invite some strategies. Few things though:
1. The game is already hard on later stages, why not reducing the slippery of the lower border?
2. Change the place where the medals are appearing, I just lost because the medal covered the place where I was just trying to avoid some rockets.
3. What do I need to get the invincibility power up? Is this the rocket I am flying?
4. Are the medals cumulative or possible to collect in one playthrough only?

Flatthead responds:

Thank you for the suggestions! Minus the slippery border everything was updated. We are still looking into that issue.

@fuckoffasshole is 100% right, it is impossible to clear some levels in the time you set! Besides, in the hard mode it is extremely easy to get stucked with totally no moves as you cannot move the crystals upwards, below the purple obstacles. These levels are almost completely luck-based, not skill-based.

turtlesf responds:

In hard mode, making powerups is important. No more moves shuffle takes gravity into account. Hard mode is pretty brutal. Easy and medium allow more time.

In response to the PM, sorry for the confusion! The diagonal powerup is made by matching 5 of the same in a T or ∟ shape, not diagonally. The powerup itself clears crystals diagonally. I had explained that poorly, so I updated the description. I'm responding here instead of PM in case anyone else has the same problem.

[Insert Coin]

A good challenge, original idea! But I think you should prevent the game from making one thing: if the spike emerges too close to the left border, it can be impossible to drop the coin down.

[Death Lab]

A great, challenging - but not too much - puzzle game. One weird thing though: to get medals I had to constantly reload the site, because they were not loading in the real time.

Please enable the player to choose between WASD and arrows, I personally hate wasd scheme...
