I need feedback on the in-game manual. I'm worried that I didn't make it clear enough.

The manual is clear enough. The manual's location, whoever, isn't. And I had to use Alt+F4 to close it...
I like the concept, but it's hardly playable.
There are only three things to fix really:
- Grid is way too huge. It takes at least 8 minutes to clear a level. Without a way to save it just pisses off.
- The RGB +/- selection is buggy, often it wouldn't change or change for the wrong combination. And I've experienced it thrice in a row. Given that you die if you don't have blocks when the timer ends, that would be a good point to fix.
- Allow to turn off the music, and turn it off on game pause
It could probably use a key to end the timer. When you've recolored all you can and have to wait 10 seconds, it gets pretty long.

Thanks for the feedback.
I was worried about the timer thing and making the player wait.
The controls suck because the original contest I made this for required only 1 action button.
That greatly limits my options. Right now I'm thinking I'll make a few more updates and then I'll begin upgrading this thing into the full sized 'Chroma Theory'.
