Pretty decent game! I just wish Mr. Minimal moved a bit faster. Sometimes I would have the entire stage clear before he even traversed a single space. :(

keep playing -- he gets faster as you progress and more show up
Same complaint here, I played like 30 levels and it's still trivially easy. I like the game though!
Much as I understand that he gets faster, it takes far too long before he gets faster and it gets repetitive really. That being said, it was actually fun, the graphics were all right, the music wasn't annoying, and lol, I kind of feel I have to say it's minimalism themed. Good job.
Finally died on level 10 because I spawned on one of the Mr Minimals twice. Quite annoying. Other than that, cool game. Loved the audio. My only minor criticism is the sprites for Mr Minimal and the player.
Level 13 Score 2231. Not bad. Good job.
I like it
the music had a huge impact.
The biggest issue I have is that Mr. Minimal himself is too slow - both his movements and his death animation. I didn't even realize he could turn squares back to brown until I was nearly at level 20!
interesting concept you had here. I like the controls and gamefeel your character had, but like other people have said, there doesn't really seem to be much of a challenge, at least not at the beginning
I like this game but it seems to easy for me
Funny little game. I like it!
Fun little game, but got very repetitive/difficulty didn't scale much. Great work, regardless. :)
Nice game, was fun to play. Maybe more enemies would pump up the game a bit more.
Awesome music and great core concept. It takes way too long for the game to get challenging... and what's the point of the stars? Couldn't pick them up at all. And yeah, it DOES pick up after level 20. :)
The graphics are nice, but a walk animation could have made it a little better. Mr. Minimal looks like he's frozen when he moves.
Interesting game. I feel like Mr. Minimal should be able to move as fast as you can type, so the controls feel more fluid, or limit the enemies speed to Mr. Minimal's speed.
Level 25
Score 1751
Great music. Bad guy spawned right on top of me once, which was annoying, like an automatic lost life. I score 1279 on level 7
2177 points - level 28 :)
Fun concept, a little issue with the difficulty pacing, it starts off incredibly easy for the first 17 or so levels, then after level 24 the red guys are going so fast and unpredictable that it is just luck hoping they don't bolt into you, and they stay in their corner. If it started off harder, but they had a little more pattern to their movement so there was a little bit of predictability (or even if they just faced a direction they were about to go) it might help a lot I think.
I was unable to pick up any coins - probably why my score is low for my level? - they just lingered on screen level after level :(
there are a "few" bugs with the powerup and bonus points -- i am working on a post compo version with improvements
Great music and graphics. As others have said, more challenge after the first levels would be welcomed.
fun. But it would have been even better if the character animation was done to make it less frozen
Easy but funny. Maybe the game progression is a bit slow. Good job!
I got to level 15 or so. There didn't seem to be a challenge at first, I had to pull myself forward to keep playing since it wasn't especially challenging in the beginning. It felt like the game sort of finished up despite not getting all the brown squares? It'd make for an interesting puzzle game if you had to get all of them to move forward. Great work though!
thanks for the feedback everyone
A little on the easy side, but a nice job nonetheless. The game has personality.
Enjoyed that. The difficulty curve was a bit odd and anticlimactic, but it's a solid game! Liked the music/sound too.
Could have used more challenge and variety but despite that it is a pretty neat and fun game.
Fun game. Difficulty ramped up a bit too fast at levels 17-20 after staying very easy for 16 levels.
Nice concept and music. Difficulty wise it could start a bit faster :). Reminds me a bit of Volfied.
Good game but starts way too slowly for me. Loved the character art, really funny.
I'm listening the music in my mind.
It adapts to the theme.
Maybe it is too easy. Nevertheless, simple but funny. Good job.
On the positive side, the game fits the theme ok, although it feels more simplistic than minimalistic, and the music was quite nice; the loop didn't get old.
On the flip side, I didn't have much fun with this game 'cause there was no real challenge to it. I just kept moving around without any sense of purpose or threat, avoiding the static red guy and the strange blue whirlpool that suddenly appears on screen. The victory condition is not clear enough, as you seem to be able to beat the levels without changing every tile's color.
Also, the graphics are really poor for a team effort/jam entry. If you only had added some small animation to the characters, it would've gone a long way towards completing the game's appearance.
Maybe if you added some more dynamic enemies moving around the game area, like in Qix, or a puzzle side to the color changing, like Q-Bert did, it would improve the overall sense of fun. But as it stands right now, there's nothing there to make me want to play it again.
1000 points, level 19 :)
It's too easy and repetitive. It would be cool if you could't step on green tiles again, so it would require more thinking.
I liked the music.
>TenTonToon -- thanks for the feedback and just a FYI on the graphics -- my kids did them and they are 5 and 8 --
A bit too easy on like the first 13 or so levels, doesn't make you want to continue...Sorry! Nice music, however...! :)
Well made! A bit simple, but good work!
Nice graphics and music.
Fun game. Extremely simple but interesting. I only thought that it's too easy. After level 15 I stopped because I didn't realized that the challenging curve is increasing. Nice work!
