Since this LD's theme is "Minimalism", I've made a game where you play as a minimalist painter. You are trying to sell artworks to build up £200,000 to buy your own art gallery.
You create artworks by drawing rectangles onto canvas. You can then sell your artworks for money, or leave them in exhibition to increase your popularity, increasing prices of future works.
Oh, and this game is fully Potato compliant. I'm not going to tell you where the potato is, though. You'll just have to find out.
For those of you who don't like downloading things, I've thrown together a WebGL version. However, it's very temperamental, and almost completely untested. I highly recommend you ignore it and download the real version instead.

GOTL (Game of the Ludum) !
One moment you play a game where you kill cats, next you draw some rectangles on a canvas and get money for it.
JUST AWESOME. I love it :D
I am also very interested how the factors change while you draw the rectangle, maybe I will look at the source sometime :)
Great job!
The idea is obviously great and execution is quite nice (I liked the subtle background sound).
The score system is sure catching, just like the general art pricing in real life.
The music fits the game really well. Very creative entry.
