Be A Minimalist by 2kah

[raw]
made by 2kah for LD26 (COMPO)
My first LD, feels good!

Controls are simple, just click on 2 colours to swap them (can be any 2 colours, not just ones in the same triangle)

Make sure none of the same colours are touching within each white triangle to win.

For example, if there are 2 blue lines touching within a white triangle, swap one of them with another colour somewhere else.

I ran the Windows version, but it says that it is not a valid Win32 application.

DreamThorn, are you using a 32 bit system? I haven't got one to test with but that may have been the problem. I've uploaded a new binary that should fix the problem if so.

egos, if you can't finish then it's probably one of the colours right in the middle. The little ones in the top and bottom triangle always catch me out too!

This was fun. My best time was 5.3s.

Great concept!
The sound FX fits well with the concept: switching the colours is like playing minimalist/ambiant piano piece! ... honestly, I didn't understand quite well the gameplay but I had a lot of fun playing with the sound & the colors :D

(works fine on my Windows8/64bit system)

jerombd, thanks, it took me ages to work out the sounds so I'm glad you like it :) For such a simple game it's hard to explain the gameplay, but I'll try putting a better explanation in the description.

The message at the end is great, shows the consistency of the theme (minimize time, make a minimal work of art, minimal gameplay of single button). Good work.

Didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing but this was fun nonetheless. The sound was quite nice, good job :)

Interesting idea. Was strange that the colors were automatically changing, not giving me any time to plan a move. I beat it in 30 seconds.

Interesting. I like how the controls and general visual aesthetics reflect the simplicity of the theme.

Nicely made, although the game doesn't require much thinking or dexterity. It's kind of artistic though ;).

Simple, but fun! The piano music that you create while playing is very nice, too. :)

Wouch, really hard to understand it's frustrating (and why the line change againt you ?). But it's a good game when you understanfd the rules and the mechanism. Good job.
