Pixel Pixie by Code White
Why hello there. If you're reading this, chances are you're interested in playing my game. I'm 14 years old, and this is my third Ludum Dare in a row, but really the first one I came anywhere near finishing. Ish. That said, I'm not going to pretend this game came out as well as I was hoping. The theme, as I'm sure everyone has already pointed out, was far from perfect. However, I've tried my best to interpret it AS A THEME. I've also tried to actually make an OK game. Nice to see how that turned out...
======STORYLINE=======
You are a Pixel Pixie, who lives in a screen. (Yes I know the theme says ON a screen, shhhh...)
You need to paint the right pixel the right colour as soon as it gets highlighted.
You can change the colour you are painting with by using the sliders. The current colour is shown at the top of the screen, and needs to be (almost) the same as the highlighted area.
You don't want the timer in the background to run out!
Avoid the sparks of stray electricity that occasionally zap by.
Be careful -- you only have 3 lives!!!
======STORYLINE=======
**********CONTROLS**********
Navigate to the highlighted area using the ARROW KEYS.
Paint the pixel by hitting SPACE.
Pause the game and show the in-game instructions by pressing ENTER.
Toggle Fullscreen Mode (recommended) by pressing F11.

And that's about it from me. Hope you have as much fun playing as I had making Pixel Pixie for Ludum Dare 31!
-----UPDATE------
I had a lot of people saying the game was too hard, so I made some small changes:
--You can now use WASD to move.
--The electric spark has been halved in size, and slowed down.
--I also changed the color of the notifications at the bottom, because you couldn't see them when the game was paused.
