CLRS is a mildly-psychedelic draw-em-up where your only weapons are primary colours and a quick finger. Press 1-3 to select colours and click to draw.

Protect your little pulsating blob from the nasty colour things by drawing protective lines of the right colours. Try mixing colours to defeat the evil secondary colour abstract monster-stand-ins.

Cheers!

This was a lot of fun. I didn't realise I could mix colors until it threw an orange circle at me and I freaked out a little. Very clever.

Great concept. I like the term "draw-em-up" :)

Super smooth! Really clever too. I panicked with the complex colors. WHICH COLORS MAKE GREEN I DONT EVEN REMEMBER AAAHHH

I was like, pssh, too easy.

Then the colour mixing came.

Then it was awesome :)

Wow this is a really cool idea, I had a lot of fun playing this!

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Glad you're enjoying it :) The difficulty's a bit all over the place I'm afraid as I didn't have time to polish - it seems to be mostly ok though?

Nice idea and well executed mechanic. I enjoyed it.

Very nice concept and elegant graphics, it's very hard though.

Nice idea! I think it might have been even more fun if those traces weren't disappearing, as a result it would've been looking like Pollock :)

Very very nicely done :) Difficulty ramps up pretty quick! Or at least, fast for my skill level :P

Nifty! Very cool meachanic. Nice introduction of advanced gameplay with gradual arrival of secondary-coloured dots.
FrozenCow29 Apr 2013, 20:04
Very nicely done. This fits the theme in a beautiful way.

When I realised you could mix colours I was like "wwaaaa!". Excellent concept, gets very challenging quite quickly. A lot of fun though.
Sophie Houlden29 Apr 2013, 20:57
can't last long once the mixed colours start swarming in, but certainly a good surprise when I discovered you could mix the colours :D

Cool and cute, but soon it was a bit too hard! First thing I tried was mixing colors, so I'm glad it worked hehe.

The mixing mechanism is very smart. Fun game.
RealyUniqueName2 May 2013, 18:55
Mixing is best! Why do i need to release mouse button to change color?
gerritg2 May 2013, 20:33
Really nice entry. The mixing part also got me by surprise :)
invi3 May 2013, 02:22
Great idea and excellent execution!

Cool idea. I couldn't figure out how to do the mixing. It would be nice to make the drawing itself a bit more strategic, somehow...
acatcalledfrankauthor3 May 2013, 11:11
@RealyUniqueName Good question! Oversight on my part, probably. It's something I'd add in a more polished version.

@axcho Yeah - I considered making it so if a blog ran over its opposite colour then it'd get bigger or fiercer or mutate or something, so you had to be more careful with your strokes. Then I ran out of time and dropped the idea :)

It might be something I'd add to a real version though - maybe as a different game mode.

Prettynice concept, not really minimalist but very fun.
Xanjos16 May 2013, 00:24
It's unrelenting once the secondary colours start coming out but the game was very fun and addictive. Loved the colour mixing mechanic.
heuermh16 May 2013, 03:29
Yeah, this is great. But really difficult.
Threef16 May 2013, 15:53
One thing: GO MOBILE! :D

Simple idea, but really fun to play! Great game!
juaxix17 May 2013, 17:23
Love this game, it is so hard but with a lot of color and live!
davidpeter18 May 2013, 22:08
Hah, the color mixing destroyed me :) Fun game!

I love the tension that builds up when the mixed colors come in. Mistakes just bury me deeper and deeper into trouble. Good job!
acatcalledfrankauthor19 May 2013, 12:48
@threef - yeah, I think a tablet version would work really well! *adds to long to-do list*

@everyone thanks for all the positive comments guys! Glad you're all enjoying it :)
