Colors are simple

Upon hearing the topic of minimalism, I wanted to cover a complicated topic in a very simple way.  I was inspired by a map of racial segregation, of all things.  Src = http://www.businessinsider.com/most-segregated-cities-census-maps-2013-4

I decided to make a game focused on taking game objects that are different and melding them together, but with some form of struggle.

Colors are simple, and I wanted to use paintbrushes and residue on the ground to make this painting, but time did not permit, so the minimal approach would suffice with spheres inside a box.

It was a fun adventure using new assets entirely.  It was so tempting to rip off a chill instrumental that I feel fits the mood. But making it myself is the  point of ludum dare!  In any case I have mute, I hope people figure out my little game and enjoy the experience all together.

One interesting challenge was freeing up time in my schedule.   Despite having a free-weekend, this was actually much harder than I imagined.
