But... I can't draw anything! by Worse
Developed on Windows7 using Python2 and Pygame. Should run on Linux if you have Pygame installed. There's no audio.
This game simulates painting with a brush. You have to regularly dip your brush into paint in order to draw, and you have to mix the colors by yourself. It is not really a game in the usual sense, but you can try to replicate any image files by drawing over them, and receive numeric feedback about their matching.
I think this "game" represents minimalism by reducing color drawing to a single simple mechanic of pressing (left click) your brush (mouse cursor) to the paper, while still (at least theoretically) allowing complex images to be painted.
There is an in-game manual.

Kinda hard to pin-point the humor...I guess that depends on what the user creates. :P
I still can't draw :(
After comparing resemblance, the image disappeared.
Instead of paint making transparent trail, it blends the colour with white, which is good for normal painting but bad for painting over pictures.
I'm really impressed with this. Amazing job!
