Here's my entry this time. It's a super-fun arcade-style top-down shooter, in the veins of Smash TV and Hyper Princess Pitch.
Okay, so the deal is, you're Mr. Minimal, this little cute cube guy, and all he wants is for the world to be gray and quiet. Unfortunately there's evil colorful aliens running about, so you have to shoot them all down, and repaint the rooms back to their boring gray tone!
Features: - 6 unique weapons - Paintbrush! Spraypaint! PAINTZOOKA! - Room painting - See each level's rooms turn into dull gray minimalist rectangles as you clear them! - Awesome chiptune music - High energy 8-bit style retro music, oh yes! - Dynamic music - Each time you destroy a jukebox, the corresponding melody cuts out! - GAUNTLET mode - How long can you survive the waves? - Evil Christmas trees. 'nuff said.
Hey, nice game. Certainly a step up from your previous game, although I enjoyed the music in Gulliver a lot more (you gotta admit Gulliver had an awesome theme song). Keep it up!
Great soundtrack and sound stingers for this game! Very Well done! nice touch that near the end it's lesser of music tracks. and LOL ms-paint weapon :P
I really like this. Bonus humor points for MS Paint. Loved how the music would gradually turn off as you destroyed the jukeboxes. It was really fun too!
Stellar music, but at this point we expect no less from you. ;)

Yeah! I totally wanted another enemy type or two, and more music! It's kind of blasphemy that I made so little music for this considering how quickly I churn out tunes, but...alas, needed all the time for coding xD
VERY impressive work for a solo, 48-hour project. Definitely fun, and had excellent music (as usual). Unfortunately, the graphics did feel a tad lacking in terms of detail, and the game didn't really have much "minimalism" going on besides the story. Regardless, I'm impressed by this entry. Nice job!
Awesome game!!! I liked everything here man. The starting music was very catchy too. I think the spraypaint was op tho :D and bazooka is up (underpowered? :D) lol. Very addictive game. Best i played so far. Awesomely great game!!!

Interesting! I actually feel like the bazooka is really useful for taking out enemy spawners, since it takes them out in 3 hits, and since it does splash damage it'll take out enemies too. But it really sucks for painting the rooms, so that's the drawback. The spraypaint is awesome but harder to dodge bullets when you're up close. Again, tradeoffs :)
Holy crap this game is amazing. The concept is great, the music is awesome, and it's just plain fun. I love the jukeboxes eliminating single tracks in the song too. Definitely one of my favorites so far - I finished it despite it being a bit too long for an LD game, IMO. My only suggestion would be to have more variety between levels, make the bullets stand out more from the background, and maybe have the ground-clearing have some more effect on the combat (color slows you down maybe?) rather than just something you have to do.
Keep it up!
