Minimalism Experience

This game is more a kind of toy than a true game. It's an experience.
What is minimalism? Franck Stella, a minimalist artist, was interested in the way that his brush followed on the paper. He said that those ways only bring you to some paint. Nothing more.
Minimalism is focused on the essential, without any artifices.
What could be minimalism in video game? Something without graphics, maybe something with an apparent code. Something that you should have to find by yourself, like the brush follows his way on the paper.
That's why I made a game like this one.
Try to find controls by yourself, experimente it. Think about it. Watch it. Live it like a minimalist art : what are you really doing? What are you really doing in video games, actually?

By the way, this is my first game made by myself.
So, I'm really happy to let you watch/play it. ^^

Hey, can you tag your Application link as Windows, not application? Looking forward to trying this when I get home to my windows pc!

I can't run it. You forgot to upload data folder.

I can't play it, either. If you download the web link, uncompress and open the *.html on the browser, the webplayer shows a "Failed to download data file" error message" :S

Wait, I've managed to run it through the "sources" link.

I'm experimenting with it to see what each function do. Congrats for your first entry! :)

There should be 'Minimalism_Data'
folder next to the executable

For everyone with download problems, the "sources" link contains a playable copy of the game.

I'm not sure what to make of it. I discovered a few things, but some things seem arbitrary.
