It looks very nice! Here is some initial feedback:

- Even though it's bouncing, I didn't see the "play now" arrow, and went directly for the video button. You might also want a "Play now" button in the main button list.

- In the video, I had to watch quite a bit of it to even know what the game was actually about. I would have liked if you showed me actual gameplay earlier in the video.

Keep it up!

Same sentiments. I didn't get the game till the last 10 seconds - and up till that point, it was rather boring.

But It's a beautiful looking game and when the light bulb went off of how the game is played, I will be downloading it.

Perhaps edit the video so it shows more of the core gameplay (like the part in the last 10s in the video).

Thanks for the feedback, I think accurately portraying game mechanics is a challenge we keep try to solve. Any thought on a way to better convey how the game works?

In the video, use onscreen text, like "connect the squares that have the same colour" (sorry I didn't play your game, but this is what I got from the video that it's about, I'm not sure how the air balloons tie in though).
