Great concept. I really like it. Just wondering what the real plot is :) But as a time waster it does the job.

Groovy, would have loved there to be some actual picture in there. Assuming you got a semi-solid quadtree structure out of this, or have one lying around, haha.

A mute button would be nice since the music loop is not completely seamless. It is catchy otherwise.

I finished with 0:42 left. :P Funny idea.

Very nice use of a quad tree ;) high marks in theme and innovation for imaginative use of the theme!

5 minutes to wiggle your mouse over every pixel isn't exactly fun...
Would work better as a quad tree tutorial :P

It's a neat idea, I like the fractal stylings going on. Its quite nice as just as visual plaything more than an actual game.

So that's more like painting tool than the game?

Very interesting idea, although really difficult to light up all the mini screens on time..I personally cant do better than 15k.

I don't really see much fun this rather than a time killer; it was fun at the beginning but continue doing the same thing for 5 minutes may cause a great decline in interest.

And I thought you will discover some painting when light up most of the screens, :D

It's a nice idea to start a game, but after the first two minutes, my hand it feels more tiring than fun. I would suggest working up the idea a bit more, for example: rewarding the player for certain patterns, powerups which let you paint better, maybe a bit of sound effects... Keep going! :)

Woo 6 seconds left. It's pretty but a little simple.

I couldn't stop painting and now my eyes are all boogly! 31 seconds remaining :)

A nice time waster, I like the different colors each square gets. Has a real artistic feel to it. Good job!

The concept is pretty unique, but the game tends to be a little boring at some point.
Good job!

Yeah, like others have said, would have liked an img to be what I was revealing.

Dude, loop your background music better next time (it's too short, and there's an obvious discontinuity when it loops).

The game drags on for a bit too long, as well - a much shorter time, maybe 2 minutes, would probably make this more fun (since then it'd be a matter of how many mini-screens you can manage to make before the timer expires).

Wow, I just spent 10 minutes dividing a square into 16384 smaller ones. But somehow, I don't feel like I wasted time. Filling in the holes is oddly satisfying, and the colors and the music help a lot. I guess this was thought as a silly joke (I hope so...), but if there was actually some strategy to it or some kind of counteracting force and not just a timer, this could be quite interesting.

Great concept, but I couldn't see the point of it :D
