Really nice game, loved your take on Minimalism :) My only issue was it took me a few goes to work out what to do, but after that it was a great game :)
The behavior of the squares doesn't make sense. Sometimes it changes the colour, sometimes it kills you.
Great little game. For those who can't figure out the behavior: green = good, red = bad, blue = flip the colors.
Really enjoyed this (once I figured how to get it going and then sorted out the rules on my own.) Unfortunately for the certain type of color blind, those red/green squares are gonna be impossible to tell apart. Great work on the visual aesthetics of the game too!
ah... green go... red stop... i must be getting old.. once I got that... well...
loved the setup, and the game got really fun as it speeds up. the art just works, and hit the theme perfect. good work!
(don't see otomata used nearly as much as it seems it should in this compo... my first two ld entries were all about that program :) )
Great fun. Very creative and the gameplay was well balanced. Very replayable.
Fantastic visuals, style and audio. Loved it. Had to read the comments to understand the block types. Should explain that in game, actually. pretty fun but seems like it ramped up to impossible speed very quickly. 355 pts here. really liked the calculator display style.
That's some neat presentation you have here, with the photos. Good thinking there. :)
While it was initially confusing, I did actually figure out the gameplay pretty quickly. The mechanic was simple but fun.
The audio, while very simple, adds a lot to the tension after the speed really picks up.
This game was surprisingly stressful oO. Too bad there's no easter egg when we press one of the calculator button :0)
Since it's Unity, could you post a standalone Linux build? There's no webplayer for Linux. =(
Great Stuff. Reminds me that good game design needs little explanation.
not sure if that was brilliant -- or insane -- i think i will go with brilliant
Awesome esthetic! Simple and fun gameplay. Pretty much hit the nail on the head in every category, with it all relating to the theme. Great Game.
410 pts and I see the world in three colors. Good mechanic :).
Really neat idea, level progression is fairly well designed for 48 hours too.

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.
This was really cool, and I wasn't expecting it.
