Not a lot of hardcore gameplay, but really nice graphics and sounds. Cool idea too! Well done!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Very cute game, perhaps aimed for children which can be lovely.

Very well achieves what it looks like you're going for. A little more control would help to create what's in my mind, as it is I just sort of create colors. Maybe a way to make bugs not start painting immediately?

very relaxing, enjoyed it! liked all the little animations the creatures had.

here's a doodle I did: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16325832/ludum_dare35/PaintBugSS.png

One thing is sometimes they can go off screen and yoou have to wait for them to come back, but I guess that's fine.

High points for mood - this is a neat little painting game. I liked how there was a day/night cycle that affected somewhat what tools were available.

Thanks guys!

@Cosine Yes I agree with your suggestion, we've been working on a post-jam update that let's you lift the bug off of the page so you are not always painting with it.

@FloatingGhost awww, that's exactly what I like to hear.

@aeveis hey nice doodle! We've been posting our paintings to twitter with #paintbug https://twitter.com/search?q=%23paintbug&src=typd (kind of an informal shared gallery)

This is really really neat. I had a lot of fun playing around with it and experimenting with all the different "tools" at my disposal.

Trippy art style, and the sound complements the game perfectly. I made some nice images from it!
