My rendition of the Gamdev-Jam's theme turned into a simple action-puzzle game somewhat reminiscent of Tetris in that there are blocks moving from the top of the screen towards the player who has to react to score.
It has a built-in help page that explains how to play. Just hit "i" for the Instructions screen.

It's a pretty neat little game, but it's hard to see when you are succeeding or failing. I think I would have went for colored projectiles and little explosions rather than the "falling to the bottom" thing, but maybe that's just my violent side. I think I would have liked it if the cubes were cleared on level complete, too. The actual gameplay is fun, and maybe a little addictive.
Clearing the playing field when a level's complete sounds like a good idea, to make it more visible you managed to get to the next one...
I added a bit of visual feedback with the update after the initial jam submission, but it's still very subtle. I have already planned on adding some particle and sound effects that should give a much better feedback on what's going on...
Awesome game!
good luck in game jam :D
