This is my first LD. This game is quite simple, but has some concepts it may take a couple of games to understand.
By taking control of your enemies, you can block and kill the other enemies that are nearly as tough as you are. Unfortunately, while controlling an enemy, the other enemies will continue to attack you so you need to protect yourself AND make sure you don't run out of energy, freeing your slave! Sometimes running away for a bit is the best plan...
Best, though, is play and figure it out for yourself! Press F1 for in-game help.

It is hell being a pixel. Why can't they all just get along?
= How to play =
* Red is evil; Red wants to hurt you!
* Take control of Red, when it comes near, and use it to protect yourself from the other Reds!
* Controlling Red is strenuous and will use up your limited energy reserves (Blueness).
* All colours hurt colours that aren't the same. Green isn't too painful, though :)
= Controls =
* Arrow keys or WASD: Move self (or a controlled Red).
* Space or Return: Take/relinquish control of Red.
* P: Pause
* Control+Q: Exit game.
