Quite liked it! Definitely nailed the minimalism feel; and the difficulty curve makes it very easy to get in to, yet very satisfying once you've lasted for a while.
A little hard to get into at first since there's no explanation as to what makes each colour different and the whole battlefield is pretty chaotic, but eventually some patterns emerge and it starts to make sense. I definitely agree, would be interesting to see a version of this with more flushed out mechanics, map variety, etc.
Went until I hit a point where the level wouldn't let me go any further; I couldn't fit through the only open space. Are the levels procedurally generated? That might be the problem.
Hmm... probably doesn't help that I've never played Oregon Trail, but not knowing what any of the icons means (aside from sleep) made it rather frustrating. Also, every time I was at a settlement, I'd choose sleep, but the sleep meter never increased.
Hey, just downloaded the Windows version of the game, but having trouble running it... after clicking on the application, a few seconds pass, and nothing happens.

Very well done! Managed to beat it but that was HARD; gonna have to give my wrists a break.

Pretty good, though the audio starts acting up whenever I push any of the arrow keys.
