I like this mechanic, but even more how you implemented it. This says "minimalism" better a Mondriand graphics clone. This really is minimalism in games! Also engaging ;)
I wasn't expecting this. Nice and smart mechanics ! The surviving aspect is very well done, it's all about making choices and sacrifices to live a little bit longer.
Really enjoyed this game, innovative, minimalistic and fun! Missed music/sound and the corners were kinda annoying, maybe a circle arena would be better.
I really like the decision making on there (shrink/grow). Seems like a dilemma for me, every second. Trade-offs and counters, changing plans every time to stay alive.
The game scales up quite nicely with such a simple mechanic.
I missed music and sounds. It'd add up quite a bit to the overall experience.
That's a very clever use of very few pieces. It's so simple that I can't think of anything else to say about it. Except that, as a red/green colorblind person it's really darn hard to play.

Interesting take on a traditional mechanic. A lot of fun deciding when it was safe to switch colors, or suddenly having to change your strategy when switching my accident.
=D this definitely hit the spot regarding the theme, it screams minimalism. I loved the minimalist mechanic, and the simple geometric art. It had no sound, but I didn't felt the need for it either. The only thing not minimized was the fun =D.
