I have no clue how to play. Do I click on the "get more pixels" button over and over? Where does it say how much cash I have? (Or is it in pixels?) What is causing my pixel count to rapidly change between 2 and 3?
The start is a bit rough, but I absolutely had to keep trying for that cute little mouse, and for this wonderful charming music which is definitely in actuality the mouse making cute mouse noises inside my head. Love it!
I actually really enjoyed this even though I lost. I'm generally not a big fan of clickers but it worked. I understood the purchasing, but I wasn't sure how I was supposed to add pixels to the board. Maybe just a quick line or two explaining would make the game more accessible.
It's mesmerizing looking at the colours playing around and getting mixed. The overall feeling of the game was really nice, but what i found lacking was the gameplay itself. If you were to continue on the game, you should ask yourself if you can increase the level of fun through gameplay.
That was fun! I expected to win just by leaving my computer up but when I found out it had active play I really enjoyed it. It is a bit steep of a learning curve. The game starts before you really know how to play.
Aaackk my hand! That was a lot of clicking =D Very nice concept, it's relaxing to play. I'm actually not a big fan of this style of game, but I still enjoyed yours! Nice work.
Wow, seems pretty hard, but fairly easy to understand. Not my kind of game, but I'll rate it fairly. :) Feels like the spreading "area" could have been made easier to make out. Also I clearly lost the first try, but the game didn't say that I lost. I didn't like the "spray paint" style and would have preferred more like an "air brush", if that makes sense.

Very relaxing game and building up a company is always something that is fun. I wish the other companies built up faster though because I got a really big company pretty fast on my first play through.
Fun and innovative, button outside the screen misses a bit the theme, I won't vote for graphics as they are n/a. I think this deserve a good overall rating. Well Done!
Pretty well balanced upgrading system although with those clickers I usually like to see additional upgrades as I grow along. That would've given me a sense of progress while playing. Also, changing the color palette overtime or using a different color palette would maybe make it look less like programmer art. Maybe check out https://color.adobe.com/ for some coloring help.
There isn't much information here to inform me as to how to play. I attempted to play the game several times, and I just couldn't understand what I was doing or how I could achieve an action to get to a win condition.
The idea is really good, but I feel there should be some sort of tutorial or detailed visual representation/documentation as to how to play. There seems to be a good game hiding here, I just wish I knew how to play it. :(
I liked this game! The sound blips really helped the calm demeanor of the game, though I do have to admit the gameplay was a bit clunky. I couldn't get the "increase pixel size" button to work, no matter how many times I pressed it. It probably would have been a useful upgrade, too; most of my problems came from not getting my cursor onto a far-out pixel, which would have been much more effective at increasing my territory. Thank you for entering Ludum Dare 31! Have a nice day!
Pretty nifty idea, but I found it really tricky. Couldn't get the pixel production up high enough before I ended up being swamped by the green or the light blue.
Interesting set of rules; it'd be neat if you could control the pixels' direction a little more directly, like giving each added pixel a velocity and direction. Maybe moving pixels could leave a trail of less dense pixels behind them? Anyway good job!
