This is an interesting logic game which could be a reference as a casual game. However sometimes there is a chain reaction which I can explain. The mechanics could be more explicit.

I liked the minimalist aesthetic, but even some simple 8-bit style sound effects would have gone a long way.\r\rQuick question: is there a 'quit' button in the game?

Use the two buttons of mouse to trigger ripples with different color to fill those pre-colored grids. The ripple will grow in 4 directions with 4 forks, the fork will keep growing until it meet something.The numbers of ripples are limited.\r\n\r\nThe mechanic maybe confusing at first, you could replay the easy levels to figure out by pressing R key :), there's only got 6 short levels, that won't cost you much time anyway, lol.\r\n\r\nSorry for lacking of high difficulty levels, got no time for that. I'll keep working on it, but no gonna update the game here, it's against the rule :)\r\n\r\n* I'll develop a post-compo version when I have time. I'm currently working on another project, so the post-compo version might not be available in anytime soon.
