Pretty cool how the blocks seem to shine at the rythm of the music :)

I'm glad you like the effect. The music is in an old-school tracker module format (made by our friend Gurnu on MilkyTracker during the jam) and we're simply lighting up rows of blocks when there's a note on a corresponding channel of the module. I wanted the blocks to look a bit like the lamps/leds on a horizontally mirrored digital VU meter, but obviously we're not monitoring volume levels, and the block patterns can make it all a bit hard to see anyway.
Did you notice that the ball launch counter follows the bass drum and the lights on the paddle are activated by the snare? :)
