All interior things should disappear.

- The thing will disappear once you completely can't see it against the background (the wall or another thing). Find such areas!

- Only one thing should be between your eyes and the wall (or bigger thing) of same color. If there is an obstacle in between, remove it first.

- Things with two colors (blinking parts) transmit the color to the destination area.

Controls:

Pan view with mouse.

Desktop versions are preferred graphics-wise.

Brilliant! Love it.

I assume you know Vignettes? http://vignettesga.me/

Also please add a button/key for resetting a level. It's quite possible to get stuck if you clear things in the wrong order.

Cool game! Really liked the main mechanic did feel like sometimes I was making things disappear but it wasn't being picked up (e.g. the table on the third level).

i love it. if you too fast remove the table at the beginning you would get stuck though...

Amazing! Really unusual, beautiful and interesting!

Very very fun and polished experience - I sadly got stuck on a puzzle not too far in, would've loved to enjoy the entire thing. Cool concept and spotless execution!

Oh, great idea!
flwns14 Dec 2016, 08:19
concept was neat, and the art was pleasing, but the music seemed a bit to intense in my opinon

Very fun and very polished. Great work! The kind of game I could happily play for hours on my phone.

Fantastic game! It has a nice atmosphere. The color are picked carefully and the levels makes you think twice. Good job

Nice job! The game it's addictive and the difficulty curve is adequate. It's the best puzzle game I've played in this ludum dare. Keep working in this game.

Guys, I'm officially a big fan of your work. Your games' look and feel, your style... everything is really unique, personal and easily identifiable. Aeroteque was absolutely wonderful, and this is a great continuation, although in a slow-paced way. As in Aeroteque, the theme is taken very literally, but the gameplay is delicious. Also, you have an extremely good taste for music and color ;)

I got through level 3 but I didn't really understand how de vase disappeared :D Then I got stuck on level 5 or 6, so a "reset level" button would be very useful, as some people have commented above.

My congratulations! I like this very much :]

this is extremely well made. I'm scratching my head just trying to think of how you programmed this. Such an incredible mechanic. the puzzles are super well made too, but maybe a bit difficult. I'll most likely come back to this to try to beat it. the sounds/music are great too

Hurgh, I promised myself I wouldn't play any more of these rotatey 3D games, but this one looked really interesting! I didn't get far before I started to feel queasy, but from what I had played, I thought the gameplay was really clever. The colours are nice. The controls were kind of finicky, and I was having trouble rotating where I wanted to move at times.

I'm a fan of the audio, as well. :)

Simple but polish!

Easy mechanic with a good programation.

In resume: Funny and nice concept :D
Mark Ffrench15 Dec 2016, 09:54
Really impressive. I'm not really sure how you managed to implement that mechanic, it works really well though. Visuals are nice, music is excellent. Great work!
smaganik15 Dec 2016, 10:41
Perfect for mobile!
depression15 Dec 2016, 11:55
Wow, really cool idea! The blending of objects in the view plane is really clever, and works perfectly.

I'm mind blown. Awesome concept, challenging gameplay and beautiful execution (I love the music in particular).

Top marks here! Congrats!! :)

Great game! Beautiful concept and relaxing music, sometimes I make disappear things I don't want too :)
Roffe7115 Dec 2016, 13:43
Music annoyed me after a while nut other than that a fantastic game. Well done, guys!
Spab15 Dec 2016, 22:09
A really cool game, great mechanic and great minimalist artstyle! The only nitpick I have is that the detection is sometimes a bit off.

Cool game! Much like Vignettes I guess?

The music was really fitting and made me want to keep playing.

Great game!

That was awesome. The graphics, the music, the main mechanic, ... everything. A really creative way to use the theme and nice level design with a smooth difficulty curve (the last level might have been just a bit to complex). I got stuck on one level for a while because I didn't realize that I had to restart it to succeed. That could have been made more clear. But that really is the whole extend of my problems. Probably my favorite entry I played so far.

Really excellent. It's so satisfying to complete these puzzles, and the look is really cool.

This is amazing on so many levels...and there are so many levels! To me, the fact you managed to make such a game in 72h seems a miracle. This is a fantastic job, and a clever idea I remember I wished to see made into a game. Thank you for this! Thank you very much!

Great game, I like the idea. Levels becamme too hard a bit too quick, leaving behind the peaceful and simple game where you just match colors. But the concept is great and the music perfect.
atcolombini21 Dec 2016, 22:36
This is a great game.

A perfect mix of elegance and simplicity. I find every aspect of the game enjoyable.

The only complain I have is the lack of a reset button or any indication of the Esc key as an option during gameplay.
