My first LD, feels good!

Controls are simple, just click on 2 colours to swap them (can be any 2 colours, not just ones in the same triangle)

Make sure none of the same colours are touching within each white triangle to win.

For example, if there are 2 blue lines touching within a white triangle, swap one of them with another colour somewhere else.

I like it, great interpretation of the theme.

I ran the Windows version, but it says that it is not a valid Win32 application.

space experience, but i can't finih the game

DreamThorn, are you using a 32 bit system? I haven't got one to test with but that may have been the problem. I've uploaded a new binary that should fix the problem if so.

egos, if you can't finish then it's probably one of the colours right in the middle. The little ones in the top and bottom triangle always catch me out too!

Clic, sound, clic, sound, clic, sound, clic, sound. Awesome.

This was fun. My best time was 5.3s.

Great concept!
The sound FX fits well with the concept: switching the colours is like playing minimalist/ambiant piano piece! ... honestly, I didn't understand quite well the gameplay but I had a lot of fun playing with the sound & the colors :D

(works fine on my Windows8/64bit system)

jerombd, thanks, it took me ages to work out the sounds so I'm glad you like it :) For such a simple game it's hard to explain the gameplay, but I'll try putting a better explanation in the description.

The message at the end is great, shows the consistency of the theme (minimize time, make a minimal work of art, minimal gameplay of single button). Good work.

Didn't really understand what I was supposed to be doing but this was fun nonetheless. The sound was quite nice, good job :)

Interesting idea. Was strange that the colors were automatically changing, not giving me any time to plan a move. I beat it in 30 seconds.

Interesting. I like how the controls and general visual aesthetics reflect the simplicity of the theme.

Nice touch with the piano!

gmaker5 May 2013, 07:53

really nice! ^-)

Nicely made, although the game doesn't require much thinking or dexterity. It's kind of artistic though ;).

AtkinsSJ13 May 2013, 11:26

Simple, but fun! The piano music that you create while playing is very nice, too. :)

geepit14 May 2013, 18:56

Simple but cool idea, real nice!

Wouch, really hard to understand it's frustrating (and why the line change againt you ?). But it's a good game when you understanfd the rules and the mechanism. Good job.
