The gameplay itself isn't as appealing as the environment, however I found this piece really refreshing and interesting. It surely has some potential in it!"},{"author_name":"keenblaze","author_uid":"5729","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 11:04pm","epoch":1346108340,"text":"Absolutely beautiful music and mood!

I liked the goal to keep colours balanced - it's the opposite of my game where you must eradicate the others!"},{"author_name":"Deykoweec","author_uid":"13839","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 12:11pm","epoch":1346155560,"text":"kinda chaotic. but i like the originality of this game. nice soundtrack too."},{"author_name":"Seneca","author_uid":"16934","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 1:50pm","epoch":1346161500,"text":"Soundtrack is amazing, if it's your own piece, you, man, have some talent!

The percent are too small and I think that 3 colored ( or just one with 3 parts ) would make a better job for showing player the color balance.

It reminds me of Flow, or maybe Spore's first evolutionary stage (although in that particular case it's about survival of one cell).\r<br\/>Here's an idea: maybe you could add some rules a la Conway's Game of Life. If actual structures actually start forming as the music slowly evolves, I think it would have a wonderful aesthetic effect, of 'seeing life growing'. Great submission, loved it!"},{"author_name":"thewiseguy99","author_uid":"14421","time":"Sep 14, 2012 @ 10:56pm","epoch":1347663060,"text":"Definitely relaxing.

As for the actual game, it feels like there are some clever things going on that I don't understand, or that I'm not aware of. I'm not really sure what effect I'm having on things beyond causing catastrophies to reduce the population of a particular colour. Otherwise it's a nice ambient game :)"}],"images":["ld24\/16525-ba95c4ba6320de00805e16990c9706cc.jpg","ld24\/16525-98edb03efad3e52946987d3884ff5e50.jpg","ld24\/16525-3845a642e460e6897829b4fd3165a35d.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/?187fbpbzp433mn0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/?vvme8iannk70zrs","text":"Setup"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"28948","g_author":"16525","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"28978","g_title":"Colorlies","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"100","g_commentcount":"26","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/16525-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/16525-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/16525-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Just unrar the file and play the game!
