Particle Circles Game - My First Love Game

[Mafuu]

I spent quite a bit of time on this. This is my first time coding in love, so I am still getting used to the syntax and what not.

The object of the game is to click the circles before they disappear.
-You have 10 lives in all.
-Each one that disappears is -1 life.
-A misclick is also -1.
-Click special circles will +1 lives

I added a pause button, which can be activated by pressing esc or 'P'. However, there seems to be an issue where I cannot make the particles pause when the game is paused. It would be helpful if someone could help me with that issue.

You should add a shiny bubble texture.

That was kinda fun! The controls need some work though. Since the game is completely mouse based, it doesn't make sense to use the keyboard for controlling the game flow (pausing, restarting, etc.)

Stop updaing the particles when you want them to pause.

So all you do is click circles? That's a little boring. And the particle effects are a bit too shiny.

Nice. Surprisingly addictive. You can never have enough shiny, but the text is a bit unreadable sometimes.

You can make the circles less pixelly by drawing it twice, once with 'fill' and once with 'line'.
