Mmmm. I thought this was one of those cliche "grab the green balls, avoid the red ones!!!1" until I noticed the red balls bending towards the cursor. That was cool.
Thanks.

It's fun.
It does seem to fall into that trap of not being relentless enough from the beginning. (A lot of puzzle games do this.) As it is, I'm bored and numb by the time it gets interesting.

bad news is, i'm terrible at video games, even seemingly not-that-hard-looking ones like this.
good news is, i'm ok with that.

The growing cluster and banking of points are a nice touches, too. It actually adds some strategy instead of relying solely on reflexes.

More gravity-based flash games please!

I like collecting as many green bubbles as possible before banking. Try to fill up the whole screen with them!

Noooo.
I was so going to post this. Then I decided I was never going to play it again ever and was instead going to deliberately forget the URL. So, uh, thanks.

This game discriminates against people who are colour blind... kidding. Loved it!

~6600 high score so far . I like the randomization aspect, how you can suddenly find yourself in the middle of a shitstorm of red. Thanks!

Definitely takes too long to kick into high gear. Got 170,346,800 on my first try at least! Okay, okay, on Avoid mode. Scoring is a BIT easier there it seems.

@stunt - what is avoid mode?

On the left there's a selection for modes. Original is the most fun, but avoid is pretty much what it sounds like (just try to avoid touching anything at all).

Okay, I found a way to make this game way more exciting. I got like 6600 or so my first try, and this second try (I got bored after the first earlier) I grabbed as many green things as I could without touching a blue. 7442 or something when I finally decided to touch a blue.
Feels way riskier and complicated this way, and it seems that I might be able to get ridiculously high scores. So far, however, I have also gotten negative scores in the thousands this way. woo.

Yeah, for a new game mode, try to see how far into the negative you can go, avoiding both blue and red dots. I just got -11025. Nice game.

You can't tell someone else they lost the game. That's not how the game works.

By the time it gets interesting, I fail.

WILL YOU CUT THAT OUT!!?

Huh? That's exactly how the game works! LOL!

I guess the months and months of playing Geometry Wars Evolved actually helped with something.

which, in a twist of irony, can be resolved by hitting The Blue.

Ah. I get it! Strategically hitting a blue makes all the greens go away. I definitely survive a lot longer now.

I got up around 15000, but this is after I had a sizeable cluster of greens and I hit a red in my fruitless pursuit of a blue.
