Nice job picking up on the nuances of the game :) and as you said, much easier said than done.

Are you using a modern browser with JS enabled?

EDIT: I'm a derp; your JavaScript must have been enabled since it (partially) rendered the menu screen. Check your plugins, see if there's anything that might conflict with the Construct 2 engine.

As the colors are purely for aesthetic purposes, this shouldn't be too much of an issue. As long as it is pleasing to the eye for them!

I introduced the score multipliers (hitting the same color twice) to discourage staying in one spot the whole game, but I guess it is still a prevailing strategy. That's a great idea! Would both the player and the balls wrap around, or just one of them? Also, what are your thoughts on having the entire playing field in your vision, or having a locked camera on a much larger field?

To clarify, I'm using C2r178, and no third party plugins.

I'm not sure about lag compensation, but the good folks over at scirra added multiplayer functionality via WebRTC, which allows for peer-hosted games. I'll look into adding touch controls and maybe get it out to Android soon!

Thank you for the offer! I'll be sure to consult you if I have any questions!

If you want to try to resolve this, feel free to contact me via email (shawnsmlee at gmail); the code/capx project file is also on my github, so if you would like to try making sense of it yourself, you're more than welcome!

I'm thinking about also adding co-operative multiplayer functionality; what are your guys' thoughts?

I wish I could make sense of that error for you haha...

The color palette was pretty random haha; if you have a better color scheme to recommend, I'd love to see it! And I'm currently trying to find a good balance for size and speed such that the game is very challenging, but not impossible.

Huh. Interesting. Do the controls freeze or the game itself? I'm not sure what would cause that; the game was developed on a proprietary HTML5/JS engine.
