Perhaps some instructions for running it would be nice. anyways, for ubuntu the commands are "sudo apt-get install love", then "love Black_on_black.love".
Now about the game, it is very good. It hurts my brain that despite the fact that it seems so simple I cannot think of a good strategy to fill te board
Very pretty game, it was pleasing to discover the mechanic after clicking for a bit, pleasing to come up with some simple strategies for getting to orange, and wonderful realizing I had no idea how to get past that.
Very interesting. Cool to see Love in action. I'll have to try it sometime.
I can't say that I fully grasped the mechanics, but I was at least able to figure out a couple colors. I suppose that the point is for it to be a puzzle how to play as much as a puzzle how to win? In that case, it's certainly effectively puzzling.
Neat idea and nice look to the game.
Rated it
Interesting puzzle game.
A lot of people used Mondrian for the theme .... the idea could be nice... but i like to play with this games ...
Nice game. Unfortunateley i didn't quite understand the mechanics. What does Matching stand for? Why do some fields go blank? This should be explained much better IMHO. I liked the whole layout of the game and love2d is cool :D
Neat game and well suited to the theme. A little hard though! I don't think I managed to get any black squares, let alone the whole lot! Still, well done.
I also had trouble understanding the mechanics. High score of 153 but no leader-board so no context for that number... I am all for games that don't explain themselves, especially puzzlers like this one, but you surely need to give a little more feedback to encourage right action.
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare entry. I have a few comments that I wanted to make. It asks the player to do the impossible: create black on black. The best a player can hope to get is orange, and the screenshots are misleading. Was that intentional? Also, it feels weird to offer a score when the maximum possible score is based primarily on the granularity of the grid. Scores can't really be compared if the configurations are not consistent.
