This was a lot of fun. I didn't realise I could mix colors until it threw an orange circle at me and I freaked out a little. Very clever.

zillix 2013-04-29 07:48

ooh, this is really cool. i love the idea. mixing colors quickly can sometimes be a little tough. great job

ditto 2013-04-29 07:48

Cool idea, great implementation!

bummzack 2013-04-29 07:50

Great concept. I like the term "draw-em-up" :)

intrudergames 2013-04-29 08:30

Great concept and execution!

nicotuason 2013-04-29 11:01

Super smooth! Really clever too. I panicked with the complex colors. WHICH COLORS MAKE GREEN I DONT EVEN REMEMBER AAAHHH

ndssia 2013-04-29 11:05

I was like, pssh, too easy.

Then the colour mixing came.

Then it was awesome :)

sebastian 2013-04-29 11:07

Wow this is a really cool idea, I had a lot of fun playing this!

acatcalledfrank 2013-04-29 11:20

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Glad you're enjoying it :) The difficulty's a bit all over the place I'm afraid as I didn't have time to polish - it seems to be mostly ok though?

daredevildave 2013-04-29 11:37

Nice idea and well executed mechanic. I enjoyed it.

tomvert 2013-04-29 11:59

Very nice concept and elegant graphics, it's very hard though.

zappi 2013-04-29 19:58

Nice idea! I think it might have been even more fun if those traces weren't disappearing, as a result it would've been looking like Pollock :)

sampotasz 2013-04-29 19:59

Very very nicely done :) Difficulty ramps up pretty quick! Or at least, fast for my skill level :P

ignifluous 2013-04-29 20:00

Nifty! Very cool meachanic. Nice introduction of advanced gameplay with gradual arrival of secondary-coloured dots.

frozencow 2013-04-29 20:04

Very nicely done. This fits the theme in a beautiful way.

dustystylus 2013-04-29 20:09

When I realised you could mix colours I was like "wwaaaa!". Excellent concept, gets very challenging quite quickly. A lot of fun though.

girlflash 2013-04-29 20:57

can't last long once the mixed colours start swarming in, but certainly a good surprise when I discovered you could mix the colours :D

cherrynukacola 2013-04-30 02:58

This is pretty awesome. ^_^

messiano 2013-05-01 22:26

Cool and cute, but soon it was a bit too hard! First thing I tried was mixing colors, so I'm glad it worked hehe.

volute 2013-05-02 17:58

Very cool idea !

patrik 2013-05-02 18:12

The mixing mechanism is very smart. Fun game.

realyuniquename 2013-05-02 18:55

Mixing is best! Why do i need to release mouse button to change color?

lu3mm3l 2013-05-02 20:33

Really nice entry. The mixing part also got me by surprise :)

invictusv 2013-05-03 02:22

Great idea and excellent execution!

axcho 2013-05-03 07:14

Cool idea. I couldn't figure out how to do the mixing. It would be nice to make the drawing itself a bit more strategic, somehow...

acatcalledfrank 2013-05-03 11:11

@RealyUniqueName Good question! Oversight on my part, probably. It's something I'd add in a more polished version.

@axcho Yeah - I considered making it so if a blog ran over its opposite colour then it'd get bigger or fiercer or mutate or something, so you had to be more careful with your strokes. Then I ran out of time and dropped the idea :)

It might be something I'd add to a real version though - maybe as a different game mode.

sylvain-p 2013-05-15 19:18

Prettynice concept, not really minimalist but very fun.

atraxgames 2013-05-15 21:39

Clever idea!

xanjos 2013-05-16 00:24

It's unrelenting once the secondary colours start coming out but the game was very fun and addictive. Loved the colour mixing mechanic.

heuermh 2013-05-16 03:29

Yeah, this is great. But really difficult.

threef 2013-05-16 15:53

One thing: GO MOBILE! :D

zccc 2013-05-16 15:58

Simple idea, but really fun to play! Great game!

juaxix 2013-05-17 17:23

Love this game, it is so hard but with a lot of color and live!

davidpeter 2013-05-18 22:08

Hah, the color mixing destroyed me :) Fun game!

maloki 2013-05-19 03:52

I love the tension that builds up when the mixed colors come in. Mistakes just bury me deeper and deeper into trouble. Good job!

acatcalledfrank 2013-05-19 12:48

@threef - yeah, I think a tablet version would work really well! *adds to long to-do list*

@everyone thanks for all the positive comments guys! Glad you're all enjoying it :)

bereuge 2013-05-20 11:51

Man, that was awesome! I really didn't expect that I could mix colors...great job!
