After failing once, I had no problems understanding how to proceed. I think that it's a bit too random as far as how zones get created, so it's easy to click on what USED to be a closed zone except one of the edges JUST went away this frame. It took a few tries until I realized that I COULD overlap without game-ending penalties.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I didn't play enough to see whether there's a 'success' condition. What happens if you fill up the entire screen? Victory dance?"},{"author_name":"marnaouf","author_uid":"12107","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 11:08am","epoch":1367406180,"text":"interesting concept."},{"author_name":"Roan Contreras","author_uid":"2043","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 12:08pm","epoch":1367409780,"text":"The game's interesting...

This is like a minimalist version of that concept. Great job!"},{"author_name":"Paul Sinnett","author_uid":"11312","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 12:24am","epoch":1367453940,"text":"I like the palette.

Maybe basing the gameplay less on luck (randomization of bars) would benefit the game even more, I'm not sure though. Good minimalistic concept and well executed."},{"author_name":"elektron","author_uid":"7798","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 10:06pm","epoch":1367791260,"text":"Excellent!

The game was written in only about 6 hours, on Sunday night.  Uses no art assets, and only 2 sound effects.\r\n\r\nThe gameplay is likewise very minimalistic.  There's no 'win' condition.  You play until you lose, and play for a high score.\r\n\r\nIt was created in Unity3d.  Sound effects created by cfxr.  Uses a free font available here: http:\/\/www.dafont.com\/squared-display.font?text=End&psize=l&back=theme\r\n\r\nSomewhat inspired by this: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Mondrian_Comp10.jpg\r\n\r\nHow to play:\r\n- Fill in as much of the screen area with color.\r\n- Avoid overlapping already colored areas with more color.\r\n- You can only add color by clicking on the rectangle formed by the 4 moving lines on the screen.\r\n- Clicking outside of this rectangle loses the game.<\/p>","title":"min-max"}
