Metro

A very simple game made in GameMaker for my first Ludum Dare entry.
I wasn't able to add all the animations and sound effects that I wanted due to my lack of understanding GameMaker's workflow and YoYo having poor documentation.

Good minimalistic, esthetic and easy game :>

This took me a long time to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. I'm still not sure. These are my guesses:

Click the tile that is a unique color. You then get more tiles. If you don't, you get fewer tiles.

Is that right?!

Yep, that's it! My goal was to make minimalistic interactive art, inspired by metro theme simplicity. The unique color picking was a simple way to integrate a puzzle/gameplay element.

I like how the difficulty scales up as the grid increases.

Nice colors. Perhaps some instructions would make it more clear how to progress - otherwise it can feel a little bit random.

I like the soundtrack as well, very atmospheric. The encoding seems to be bad though which gives it an eerie horror game feeling :)

This is an interesting game. Didn't have too much trouble figuring out what to do. It's very clean and simple. Well done.
