You are the X, you like a nice blank bit of paper, just you the X. Then all these O's keep coming along and getting in your way. Deal with them, you can dissolve them into nothing. Watch our though, if you touch them then will get you, even the dissolving ones.

Arrows will move you, and Shift/Space will start your magic erase square. You can only dissolve one Nought at a time though.

Audio was all done using a Zoom H1 pocket recorder, and Dino Baffetti D/G Melodeon. Minimalist recording with no sequencers or synths:-). Using FlashPunk as a base Framework. Source available, just add in FP from a Git repository.

Neat little game. Original idea and love the ending when you lose. Good work with the music too. A few more instructions might have been useful (like that you can only dissolve one at a time) but other than that, pretty good.

Maybe too simple for me.

Loved the theme tune. Strangely pirate-y :)

Like the sound effect for X death. Interesting graphics and graphical approach to playing/erasing. Good job.

Reminds me a little bit of Qix!

Nice game, liked the music. Took a bit to figure out exactly how the game worked but was fun when I did.

Simple and quite fun but rather difficult...
