I totally wanted another enemy type or two, and more music!  It's kind of blasphemy that I made so little music for this considering how quickly I churn out tunes, but...alas, needed all the time for coding xD"},{"author_name":"Potentialing","author_uid":"21984","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:11am","epoch":1367373960,"text":"VERY impressive work for a solo, 48-hour project. Definitely fun, and had excellent music (as usual). Unfortunately, the graphics did feel a tad lacking in terms of detail, and the game didn't really have much &quot;minimalism&quot; going on besides the story. Regardless, I'm impressed by this entry. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"kazukishida","author_uid":"22582","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 4:08am","epoch":1367380980,"text":"Awesome game!!! I liked everything here man. The starting music was very catchy too. I think the spraypaint was op tho :D and bazooka is up (underpowered? :D) lol. Very addictive game. Best i played so far. Awesomely great game!!!"},{"author_name":"DDRKirby(ISQ)","author_uid":"7285","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 6:07am","epoch":1367388120,"text":"Interesting!  I actually feel like the bazooka is really useful for taking out enemy spawners, since it takes them out in 3 hits, and since it does splash damage it'll take out enemies too.  But it really sucks for painting the rooms, so that's the drawback.  The spraypaint is awesome but harder to dodge bullets when you're up close.  Again, tradeoffs :)"},{"author_name":"ddionisio","author_uid":"17724","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 5:42am","epoch":1367473020,"text":"Cute cube art, got me to play your game!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>You nailed the retro feel on the music and sound!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My only complaint is it got a little repetitive after 2 levels.

The concept is great, the music is awesome, and it's just plain fun. I love the jukeboxes eliminating single tracks in the song too. Definitely one of my favorites so far - I finished it despite it being a bit too long for an LD game, IMO. My only suggestion would be to have more variety between levels, make the bullets stand out more from the background, and maybe have the ground-clearing have some more effect on the combat (color slows you down maybe?) rather than just something you have to do."},{"author_name":"dremelofdeath","author_uid":"17159","time":"May 16, 2013 @ 8:05am","epoch":1368691200,"text":"This game has some of the best audio I've ever seen in an LD game.

It's a super-fun arcade-style top-down shooter, in the veins of Smash TV and Hyper Princess Pitch.\r\n\r\nOkay, so the deal is, you're Mr. Minimal, this little cute cube guy, and all he wants is for the world to be gray and quiet.  Unfortunately there's evil colorful aliens running about, so you have to shoot them all down, and repaint the rooms back to their boring gray tone!\r\n\r\nFeatures:\r\n- 6 unique weapons - Paintbrush!  Spraypaint!  PAINTZOOKA!\r\n- Room painting - See each level's rooms turn into dull gray minimalist rectangles as you clear them!\r\n- Awesome chiptune music - High energy 8-bit style retro music, oh yes!\r\n- Dynamic music - Each time you destroy a jukebox, the corresponding melody cuts out!\r\n- GAUNTLET mode - How long can you survive the waves?\r\n- Evil Christmas trees.  'nuff said.\r\n\r\nDownload the soundtrack for free at: http:\/\/ddrkirbyisq.bandcamp.com\/album\/minimalist-mayhem-original-soundtrack<\/p>","title":"Minimalist MAYHEM"}
