I think this is too much paranoia... maybe diferent systems shows diferent
colors, but you can recognize each color. And you can run your demos in a
real 2600, use it as a reference. I like diferent colors for blobs, they
makes the game harder to play

No man, please! The HD concept is great, very original... Hey, the playable
version you sended is really funny, levels 3 & 4 makes me crazy :) ...

varying speeds makes data bits easier to read... with the same speed you
would probably read the wrong bit because they are too close (that's what I
feel playing your demo). Maybe the same speed (and fast) would work for
higher levels.

yes, latency buffer should be incressed when you read a wrong bit.
anyway, the game is funny... :) It's an action game.
