The core gameplay of matching color while hazards distract you was more engaging than I anticipated. That said, the game felt needlessly punishing. I think it would be more fun if avoiding the sparks\/finding the pixel were more to keep you on your toes, maybe stun rather than kill. The clock is the real enemy here. Good job, though. I felt it fit the theme well."},{"author_name":"oh_andrej","author_uid":"45379","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 6:20pm","epoch":1418148900,"text":"Great idea! Really puts one's RGB skills to the test. One minor thing that could be improved though is the controls: You always need one hand on the mouse to adjust the sliders and I can't comfortably use both the cursor key and the Space bar with one hand. Setting the movement controls to WASD would fix that for me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than that, good job!"},{"author_name":"goodbadokay","author_uid":"47147","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 5:46pm","epoch":1418233260,"text":"\u0422\u0440\u0443\u0434\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u043e,\u043d\u043e \u0437\u0434\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0432\u043e"},{"author_name":"ynots","author_uid":"45674","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 9:39am","epoch":1418376840,"text":"A bit hard..."},{"author_name":"indie4fun","author_uid":"47505","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 10:04am","epoch":1418378340,"text":"The idea is cool, but really hard to play it!"},{"author_name":"Cake&amp;Code","author_uid":"10976","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 4:16pm","epoch":1418400660,"text":"Oh man, I love color-based games!

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...\r\n\r\n======STORYLINE=======\r\nYou are a Pixel Pixie, who lives in a screen. (Yes I know the theme says ON a screen, shhhh...)\r\nYou need to paint the right pixel the right colour as soon as it gets highlighted.\r\nYou 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.\r\nYou don't want the timer in the background to run out!\r\nAvoid the sparks of stray electricity that occasionally zap by.\r\nBe careful -- you only have 3 lives!!!\r\n======STORYLINE=======\r\n\r\n**********CONTROLS**********\r\nNavigate to the highlighted area using the ARROW KEYS.\r\nPaint the pixel by hitting SPACE.\r\nPause the game and show the in-game instructions by pressing ENTER.\r\nToggle Fullscreen Mode (recommended) by pressing F11.\r\n**********CONTROLS**********\r\n\r\n\/\/\/\/\/\/\/TOOLS USED\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\nLanguage: Lua\r\nFramework: Love2D with GUI Library\r\nIDE: Notepad++\r\nArt: Piskell, Inkscape, Paint\r\nAudio: Pixitracker, Audacity\r\nIdeas: My Brain\r\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\TOOLS USED\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\r\n\r\nAnd that's about it from me. Hope you have as much fun playing as I had making Pixel Pixie for Ludum Dare 31!\r\n\r\n-----UPDATE------\r\nI had a lot of people saying the game was too hard, so I made some small changes:\r\n--You can now use WASD to move.\r\n--The electric spark has been halved in size, and slowed down.\r\n--I also changed the color of the notifications at the bottom, because you couldn't see them when the game was paused.","title":"Pixel Pixie"}
