At the end of each level the path you took to solve the puzzles results in a different painting. The idea was to have multiple ways to solve each level, and that there were many different resulting paintings depending on how the player solved map.\r\n\r\nSince we are all family people with real life commitments we had to settle with a demo that shows the concept, but we hope that this communicates the idea we had when we started creating this game. We only finished 3 levels to show the concept, and tried to work more on polish on those levels than making a lot of levels. We had plans for ice-blocks and teleport-blocks, but those did not make it into the game at this time. \r\n\r\nWe believe it is a somewhat original take on the theme, and that we have managed to create something that is interesting. If you do not believe that we hit the theme, then do a google image search for \"minimalism\" and you will see what we tried to do :)\r\n\r\nLater I will post a post-mortem (hopefully with a time-lapse).\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy this little game!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHIT \"R\" TO RESTART A LEVEL!!! :)","title":"Brushman by Digital Apathy"}
