I used minimalist painter Piet Mondrian as my inspiration for the game. It's also minimalist in that you are playing a blue square under attack by an abstract impressionist splatter painting. It's still more minimalist, gamewise, in that you don't actually control the square directly; instead, you have three buttons that all do essentially the same thing, affecting the environment for the blue square.
And it's also a love story, of sorts, if you can sit through the too-long intro.
Controls are the 1, 2, and 3 number keys. That's it. You can skip ahead or go back to earlier levels, or restart your current one, by clicking on the arrow buttons at the lower right.
Written in JavaScript (HTML5) using the Crafty library (http://craftyjs.com). My own art (GIMP and PowerPoint) and sounds (GoldWave audio).
Let me know what you think!
EDIT: 5/1/2013 - I figured out what was making sound not play in Firefox and some other browsers, so I made a typo fix as permitted in the rules (just needed to add two square brackets to make it work).
