When I read Spitoon I said "This is for me!" :)
Let me tell you despite the bugs, I think that you have an awesome idea (but I don't know exactly what the colors of the player means) and with some improvements you have an excellent game (now is a "very good" game :) ). I like so much the fact that you have to void your self to go on the way.
First game + 48 hours = thumbs up!

The gameplay mechanics are new and interesting and it's visually appealing. You did a great job, all that's missing is 'ptooi' sounds and the like.

Really cool concept! The only suggestion would be to display the key codes for spitting colours at all times. I forgot which button did which at times and had to spit things at the wall to figure it out. Apart from that I thought it was a really original concept that has a lot of potential.

Clever idea and a slick implementation. Expect to see this on a Flash game site near us soon! :-)

Very nice concept. I liked this game. A very good puzzle game it is!
Cute game! I like the idea of spitting to shrink. It adds a whole new level of creativity on how to solve these puzzles.

nice puzzle game, but I forgot the colours attached to each key quite a lot, some visual guide would be good. Also a way to restart levels if you mess it up ( couldnt find this if it was there )

I'm working on a post-compo version of this game that will address a lot of the issues people have been having. I had originally planned on a HUD that would help you keep track of the colors, as well as a level select and restart system, but I didn't have time to implement it in time for the competition. :/

If it helps for now, the "Z", "X", and "C" keys are mapped to Red, Green, and Blue, respectively. A useful mnemonic is that RGB is the order that those three colors are often listed in when storing pixel color or "web color" data.

the concept is great, music/sounds would have been nice

Wow very nice for your first game. VERY different game i liked the mechanics of it.
Amazing concept and please don't feel bad for "only" 7 levels, because they're awesome! 5 stars from me overall and innovation!

A nice mechanic to play with. You should explore this some more. :) Very satisfying to slurp op globs of color, but it would be more satisfying with slurp/glomp sfx. ;)
Really nice game, love the mechanic. Controls felt a bit stiff is all I can add. Nice work.

Great! Liked the color-changing as you spit yourself out. Keep developing this! Thanks for sharing.
Intersecting concept, I especially liked that shooting a certain coloured blob changed you colour to have less of the colour you shot(if that makes sense)

Very nice concept for a puzzle game! Very original.
Very fun concept and great style! I'd love to see this go somewhere bigger (like the blob guy).

Interesting gameplay. I love color puzzlers. The bug that the balls get stuck when you fire them too rapidly is annoying. Overall a good game. The best LD23 game I've played so far.

Interesting game. Some things the game needs are:
Music/SoundEffects
A reset button.
Reminds me a bit of a game called Mercury Meltdown

Very interesting idea. Not sure how it applies to "tiny world", but was fun nevertheless.
I don't think I really 'got' it. Cool graphics though.
Cool mechanic but it really needed a restart button.

Finally my knowledge of additive color mixing comes in handy.
I have to say I like the idea behind this game. I only wish there had been a reset button when I got stuck. I was sure I'd discerned the rules by which the blobs accept or reject new additions but I totally failed in that regard.

Unexpectedly clever game. :) Only nitpick I have is no reset button, since I managed to get stuck in one of the later levels (excessive spitting before noticing they flew off to nowhere). Very nice!

Thank you so much to everyone that has left feedback and rated my game. You have all made my first Ludum Dare an incredible experience. The last week in particular has been very busy, and I apologize if I run out of time and cannot get to rating everyone's game in return, but I will definitely try. :D
