In a newly created universe
the colors float around
freely. Bring order to chaos!
Controls: Arrows
Well, just like last time I didn't really have time...
Anyway, at least I completed something!!!
And the music turned out quite mysterious.
To start the game, click in the game window and press space.
Tips and Tricks:
* Collect all colors to see the end screen
Troubleshooting:
* I have tested it on OSX and Windows, it should work on Linux
* On OSX you might have to use a different Java version
* On Windows you might have to update your graphics driver

Music was good. It interesting seeing the picture come together as I collected colors. Edge of screen sound made me cringe every time I hit it.
Cool idea. More universes to create would have been nice. I like the sound when hitting 'the end of the universe'.
Cool game! Nice audio and idea.
I encounterd a moment, where one triangle was outside the playfield (on the right), so I had to wait a moment, before I was able to collect it. Its not tragic, but could be a bit frustrating if a triangle would fly right next to the edge for a long time.
I was thinking "Upgrade my magnet radius", but the controls were good for me, so didn't have great problems. Well a magnet would have kind of broken the game, because you would end it too quickly.
The RGB idea was cool, but you should either put some green in the upper part of the image or create more levels, because the green seemed to have no effect until I got to the bottom of the playfield.
Really enjoyed this. Could've happily spent a long time "painting' the universe. Thank you!
Booooring. Honestly. The sounds are ok, the music annoyed me over the time. I think there were too much objects to collect to grab my interest till the end.
Cute little game, the audio served quite well! I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that catching colours would allow me to see more.
Novel idea, though the very precise collision was a bit of a pain. Quite artsy as LD games go, but still quite enjoyable.
Really liked the atmosphere this game created, the collision box on the player was a little offset and made me feel cheated at times but overall I quite enjoyed the experience. Good job!
I love that simple but immersive music. Simple controls. Simple but deep story... I've enjoyed this from start to end.
The mood manages to be quite nice. Musics contributes a huge factor on there, I suppose.
Think the game elements are literally minimal. Actually they are way too tiny.
I don't quite get the setting at all. I failed to get a meaning out of it.
Either way, at the end I have created a beautiful universe.
Yeah sorry about that, the controls of LOWBAT Really need a bit of tweaking. I'm planning to do it soon :)
I didn't like the sound when you hit the end of the level x3
The idea was nice, would have been interesting to have a the ability to make universes with so much of a certain colour. Like, I don't want any blue and only a little bit of green, let's see how it comes out.
It was interesting however and I loved how the stars seemed to twinkle at the end. Good work!
Also, thank you very much for commenting on my game!
I can confirm that it works on GNU/Linux with open Java.
Would have liked more variety and levels.
Nice transitions in visibility and that overview in the end.
I found the music very funny, well done there.
Nice Idea, you can build upon this by creating different images and maybe making one of the colors represent walls/slow down zones, so that you can't see them at the beginning but after collecting some colors, it gets clear
I liked the ship's inertia, and how the controls can still be responsive with that kind of movement.
Now, the bounding boxes felt too small, more than once I would run over a color without anything happening. There's also some contrast issues, blue on black is hard to differentiate.
Interesting idea. Not sure if I actually enjoyed playing it, but interesting for sure

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
It was definitely very minimal! Liked the audio :)
