I like it. But if I press arrow and x at the same time, becomes very easy. Music is cool.
Nice. Funny and clever use of the theme. Would have keep me player longer with some kind of waves, being able to complete a level... pause and start again
Innovative concept... a game that is easy to complete, but very difficult to get a high score. I like it!
neat idea. however i felt the game was much too easy and a little short. but solid entry nonetheless !
Very clever, it needed a bigger deal making of the "Paint as little as possible", I missed that my first few goes and as a result didn't see the point of the game.
I too, missed the "paint as little of the canvas as possible" instruction until I saw the % of canvas painted score at the end. Would be good to highlight that more. I really liked the idea though - having to plot a map through the level and then actualize it with paint is very satisfying.
Interesting game. I littered the score board a bit, sorry about that. At first I thought it only put up one score per person. I like encouraging the player to alter as little as possible. The score balancing could use a bit of tweaking.
Ha, I love it! Very fun, interesting use of the theme! Great work. (Also, I got a high score!) :D
Very cool mechanics. I dont really see the point in actively trying to collect thode coins. Graphics look quite nice and the theme has been implemented very nicely. Great work!
My name is almost the same and my graphic style is almost the same. Nice job.
Nice game and great idea. One thing for the controls: On my keyboard the "Z" is next to the "T" which means that next to the "X" there is the "Y". You get the point, don't you. Not a big problem but keep that in mind the next time :D
More explainations on the outcomes (% of the painting painted ? coins ? time ? How to improve my score between those parameters ?) could help a lot to appreciate the full potential of the game faster. Still, fun mechanic, quite innovative, and good atmosphere. Thanks !
Really neat idea and gameplay. Music was good too. Simple but fun.
Great game, it has a simple premise that makes it fun to jump around squares :) I couldn't insert my score, sadly...
Very clever idea, and very good use of that minimalist painting pattern. I'm intrigued by the fact that many commenters said it was 'too easy'. I read the instruction about high scoring, so was keeping ledges to a minimum, and I found it frustratingly difficult! I rage-quit after about the 10th attempt to get past level 1. For some reason I kept trying to collect the circles near the bottom, where falling off is almost guaranteed if you've fallen from a great height and the nearest segment is very short. I'm scoring this high for innovation. Great entry, well done.

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.
Nice one :) I think it could be better with some enemies shooting at the player, or maybe erasing some painted places to make the player fall down. Still, very nice game.
