Really good stuff.

stevejohnson 2013-04-28 23:18

Very atmospheric, easy to play. On level 2, the blue blocks seemed to take forever to migrate to the holes I dug. Like 3-4 minutes of just waiting.

stevejohnson 2013-04-28 23:18

(But I could proceed before then, so I guess NBD. Took me a minute to notice I could keep going.)

MisterMagnus 2013-04-28 23:19

Awesome.

jhrrsn 2013-04-28 23:34

Really good take on the Mondrian!

jpverkamp 2013-04-29 03:55

I loved this. Now I have to get around to finishing / submitting my own game so I can rate yours. :)

One minor nit to pick, grammatically it should probably be "Now there is no water."

floatingghost 2013-04-29 07:21

Pretty damn good.

lidfrid 2013-04-29 07:30

Great style! Awesome concept, well done :)

lizzip 2013-04-29 07:49

Really great. Best of the games I have played so far

hello23 2013-04-29 08:19

Fantastic ! Minimalism at it's best. I really like the game and the idea. I could not pass level 3 or 4 but a GREAT game !!

rujomarco 2013-04-29 08:37

very nice one, one of my favourites at the moment

thegiallo 2013-04-29 08:55

Well done pal!

arkadydracul 2013-04-29 12:48

Best entry ever!

kevinzuhn 2013-04-29 15:15

I liked the behaviors of the elements, and the rock, paper, scissors dynamic between them. I got stuck on 'Buuuurn!' for a while, but the solution came to me this morning! I hope that you release more levels for it later.

ithildin 2013-04-29 16:33

Great idea! :)

gre 2013-04-29 16:34

This is terrific!
Very good work.

gamexcore 2013-04-29 16:35

Really smart!

dsoft20 2013-04-29 16:41

Nice puzzle game, it's fits the theme very well :D

martijn 2013-04-29 16:44

Reminds me of powder game.

dariooligpi 2013-04-29 18:51

I vote this because I believe you must win, A friend make me notice this game :)

jools64 2013-04-29 19:42

Very cool idea and well executed. I really like the gameplay and the graphics are simple but still stylish.

I found experimenting and seeing how all the different materials interact with each other really interesting. That combined with good level design kept me going through the game. The music is also nice and calming.

Great job!

shawn42 2013-04-30 02:59

Great take on the theme. Where's the music from? It sound very familiar.

georgebroussard 2013-04-30 03:24

Great visual style and mechanics. Very fun.

georgebroussard 2013-04-30 03:48

Yup, finished every level. Fantastic game.

hypnohustla 2013-04-30 07:02

Good job on the theme department. A bit confusing though before you realize the colors represented different elements. But thats just my dumb brain. :) Loved the relaxing atmosphere.

lotusgame 2013-04-30 09:21

Good idea.

saggiosoft 2013-04-30 11:35

Very elegant...

trahdivad 2013-04-30 12:12

Very nice. Really enjoyed it!

alfonzm 2013-04-30 13:46

Fun gameplay and beautiful aesthetics! One of the most polished games I've played.

flai 2013-04-30 14:11

Really great game :)

tonbery 2013-04-30 14:24

nice fluid simulation =D

very good at sticking to the theme, you can really do something big this game! =D

aquilicoco 2013-04-30 14:27

Good puzzle game!

chman 2013-04-30 15:38

Brilliant. The idea is very simple but works so well ! Nice work on the aesthetics too, you made big blocky pixels look nice. (the Next Level button could be more obvious, took me some time to understand why the game wasn't switching to next level after finishing the first one)

aron 2013-04-30 15:44

Really good and tough game. Couldn't figure out how to solve the level "Burnin"

qaterknan 2013-04-30 16:01

Great game! I really like the idea and the feel of the game. It could be a little faster though.

bobiniki 2013-04-30 16:44

Great job! Smart game mechanics idea.

bvanschooten 2013-04-30 19:54

Great game! Innovative puzzle element. Clever idea to use the Mondrian style levels.

omaromeir 2013-04-30 20:42

Awesome, smart, and well designed puzzler. Great job!

superdisk 2013-04-30 20:48

Weird. Level 3 seems impossible..?

naufr4g0 2013-04-30 21:24

Great graphic style and physics! I like how materials reacts.
Levels are challenging! :)

dannycalleri 2013-04-30 22:52

Awesome graphics and well designed puzzles :)

aaronyip 2013-05-01 09:38

Wowzers, this game is gorgeous, and really charming. Definitely has my pick of favorite game so far. :D

dohan 2013-05-01 13:20

Loved the physics and loved the puzzle design. Great game!

tifu 2013-05-02 01:22

Really clever puzzles! Had to use my brain :D

nambew 2013-05-02 02:27

The idea is great and the concept is original. The gameplay is easy to understand. I think that can make a good litte puzzle game for mobile.

cosmicadventuresquad 2013-05-02 02:47

Nice use of the Mondrian style! The first handful of levels are more trial-and-error rather than puzzly, but I eventually figured out how the colors reacted with each other. Great job for 48 hours!

gregdevice 2013-05-02 06:01

One of my favorites so far! Wow, addictive and well polished. Would be a nice tablet game.

zhrack 2013-05-02 09:47

Challenging but never frustrating! Very funny!

kgs0142 2013-05-02 10:01

Wooho! It's so fun!
Pixl water amd puzzle lol.
It's really impressive.
Good job!

enzo 2013-05-02 11:37

Really interesting take on Mondrian! and this is maybe the first "puzzle" take on the sand physics games I've ever seen. Good job!

snakeeater 2013-05-02 13:24

Great job, I really really enjoyed playing it. Very original and clever!

gokuhd 2013-05-02 13:26

It's a clever game! I really like it. Nice graphics, nice sounds, well done.

tipyx 2013-05-02 17:18

Just excellent, the music rocks me *o*

infernet89 2013-05-02 21:02

Awesome entry, in particular i loved the different physics of each particles.

spriters2000 2013-05-02 21:52

Very good game.

nicosaraintaris 2013-05-02 23:10

Really good use of the theme (minimalistic art and eliminating all non-essential forms, color in this case). Nice entry. Congrats.

kefir 2013-05-03 09:50

Really nice concept and great realisation. But a little too much waiting :)

klianc09 2013-05-03 11:02

The level which says "BUUUURRRRN" is too hard...

deepnight 2013-05-03 12:34

There are many compos based on the minimalist artistic movement... But yours is definitely the most original I played so far. Excellent compo!

chaos_viper 2013-05-03 14:55

Very cool concept!!! Simple but complex at the same time. You've completely center the theme. Well done!!!

madball 2013-05-03 16:12

Nice level design, great mechanics. And nice mood for such a minimalistic puzzle.

qdowngames 2013-05-03 17:20

I found it intruiging how there are multiple games on here with the "black line colour blocks" theme. It's cool! Nice work, original and fun.

sylvain-p 2013-05-04 03:48

Simple, but pretty good concept.

belickim 2013-05-04 10:33

Oh, I love cellular automata, kudos for very fun, and quite demanding game :)

colapsydo 2013-05-04 10:49

I love the sand physics, and the various mechanics for each colors. Music is so zeldaish, I thought I was in a dungeon for the whole time I played.

Great minimalist puzzle game.

orni 2013-05-04 17:56

I played this for a long time - nice game you made there :)

the concept is great and I really like the pixel-looking fluid dynamics. great

well done :)

frogmaster 2013-05-04 20:13

Brilliant! Fun and challenging!

ethankennerly 2013-05-04 22:25

Bravo! Experimenting with the cellular automata fascinated me. The Mondrian graphics were tasteful and enriched the experience. If you continue to develop this, the background music annoyed me a little after several minutes. At first I was not sure how to interact.

covenant 2013-05-05 11:08

Very nice idea, visuals were excelente, puzzles were nicely done... Gratz!

super-hamster 2013-05-05 19:22

Very good game and a very cool idea. Good job.

justinmullin 2013-05-07 00:23

Very cool. Good difficulty curve, and very creative.

rafaelsales 2013-05-11 00:29

Incredible game! It's a really intelligent concept, fitting perfectly to the theme. Congratulations a lot !!!

pythong 2013-05-12 09:27

the music reminds me of zelda-link to the past

eggdestroyer 2013-05-12 11:46

Some levels are a bit tedious (the 2nd one for example) and that "Buuuurn" level is somehow too hard (I'm not sure how I've done it). Apart from that, this is excellent and very well made, very satisfying, nicely fitting the theme and everything.

xanjos 2013-05-12 15:10

Nice graphics and excellent audio. Working out the mechanics between the three colours was actually pretty fun and interesting.

lassedissing 2013-05-12 17:50

Very nice art style!

kill0u 2013-05-13 11:42

Really good puzzle game :) Congratz!

lightnarcissus 2013-05-13 16:23

Simple concept but executed to a really good effect.

galman 2013-05-13 21:32

Nice game, but I think that it's more based on luck =\

pixelulsar 2013-05-14 00:24

Interesting Game.

swizzcheez 2013-05-14 19:25

One of the best.

spiridion 2013-05-16 22:43

Saw this and thought "not another Mondrian game!" But the puzzle mechanic is great! Would like to see some bonuses for clearing more than the minimum required, not using all your clicks, etc, but overall nice balanced, interesting puzzle.

ohsqueezy 2013-05-17 04:00

Great concept! Great physics programming!

floko 2013-05-17 06:25

very interesting. The Bauhaus influence is very clear.

This game has one of the nicest graphics so far. Congrats!!

puccini 2013-05-17 19:11

A fantastic game! Very funny and innovative! Great job.
