Really pretty and a great idea. I really didn't get a hang of it though, the contrast between the background and the bullets is so low that I couldn't make them out and moving with a mouse is hard. Maybe I'll come back to it when my brains are not freshly fried out by the jam

Visually and mechanically very interesting, though I wasn't sure if the game was trying to drive me toward any specific goal. I'm not very good at bullet hells to begin with, but the bullet pixels were hard to see and I found myself getting hit without noticing where the bullets were coming from. Still, quite a fun game and I like how unique it is.

Really interesting concept, but the controls are a little unclear. Might be nice to have a video to show how the game should be played and how it progresses because it would be nice to explore it more. Just wish I knew what I was doing!

This is a really cool and original concept, but currently a bit hard to understand.

What a fun game.

I like how player character's design incorporates the abilities, and how you can mix the colors too.

However you should've really added outlines to everything that moves. I also did not like how surfing produces a melody that is in a different key from the song that plays.

And finally a feature to save what you have painted would be nice. Even thought its just a Kandinsky's painting with different colors.

Had some fun, love the music! Red is a bit weird with two abilities in one. Zoom has only two values and both are bad... Apart from that everything is fine! Audio works well and everything feels responsive. Cute project, thank you!

Really fun and interesting game idea. The music was really good too. Was a bit confusing at first but fun to play once I got it. Nice work!

definitely one of the most different entries I've played. So many things to pick from and look at.
