Desaturation by alfie275

[raw]
made by alfie275 for LD26 (COMPO)
There is a readme packaged along with the game, but I'll post the controls here just incase:

WASD - Move
Mouse - Look
Control - Toggle mouse focus
Shift - Double walk speed
Escape - Exit from a painting (required if you get into an unwinnable situation).

Game doesn't run right for me, it just shows a large black area with a white rectangle at the top. Doesn't seems to respond to input.

I dig the style, nice use of primary colors, and it's quite unique.

Need a whooole lot of patience for this though, as it seems to move kinda slow, especially when pushing the blocks and having no sense of how it's positioned compared to the other blocks.

Great game, loved the mechanic! Could have done with a tutorial and some music and would have been 5/5! :)

While the game runs in Wine, it is impossibly slow. Even holding shift still takes forever to get anywhere. Gave up after finally completing the first level. Cool concept though.

I like the Mondrian-like style.
The things I missed were a tutorial and a background tune =).
Good job

Why does this have to be in first person? I think this would have been better as a simple 2D puzzler. And I had to read the comments to know what I had to do.
