I quite enjoyed myself and found the idea amusing. I liked the clues that the villain gave but sometimes I wasn't sure what he meant - he said "a bit pasty" and I wasn't sure if that just meant "pale" or a specific color. Small gripe. Anyway, I had fun and that's what matters most.

Hi there. This smacks of Molyneux pixel clicking frustration, except more annoying 'cos have to read loads of text. Nice visuals and sounds.

Interesting concept I like it although some descriptions of his location were a bit misleading. Overall good job!

Solid entry, and lots of fun. Wish that we could zoom in on other parts of the image, or upload our own images to zoom in on. Very clever take on the theme! Great job!

For what it is, it's pretty good. The clues were well done.

It seems to always zoom in on the same part of the picture, which doesn't really matter since the whole image is kinda samey anyway. Maybe you could have made the image a little more texturally varied, and given some more relative hue-based hints? Interesting idea though.

Caught two rotten pixels, would've maybe caught more if there was some variance to the backgrounds. Nice simple game. I liked how the game zoomed in, almost felt like it said "Entire game on one screen? I don't need that much, a few pixels will do!". Or maybe I'm overthinking it.
