Minimalism by _Milligan

[raw]
made by _Milligan for LD26 (COMPO)
All is fair in love and, minimalistic, war! Survive as long as you can and get the highest score possible, but beware a single hit will send you right back to the start screen.

Making Minimalism was a blast, and i hope you enjoy playing it as much as i enjoyed making it.

P.S. To everyone who watched the live-stream, thanks for showing up.

Tools : Monogame + Visual Studio 2010, Gimp, Paint.NET, SFXR

This game is awesome.

The concept is quite great, and the game is more difficult than it seems.

It is quite fun to play, but unfortunately gets old after a few runs.

The theme is met quite well, although the simplicity is taken to a more defined level. I am personally a fan of that approach, because it can make things look better than they otherwise would have looked.

That brings us to the graphics, which look stunning in their simplicity.

The audio gets old after a while, but is pretty okay, especially in the beginning.

The game is quite humorous, the squares rotating all over the place do not fail to make me smile.

The game fits together quite well, too, which makes is deserve a high overall rating.

Good game. Would be nice to see the score after you die. Sometimes I'm not looking up at the title and I do not get the high score and have no idea how well I did.

Was around for the whole 48 hours. Was a lot of fun and was a really great build.

This game is fun to play, easy to control, and hard to master. The game style and controls are quite nice.

Meets all my requirements for a fun minimal game for sure. It even has a potato.
