Wow, I really, really outdid myself this time.
Here's my entry this time. It's a super-fun arcade-style top-down shooter, in the veins of Smash TV and Hyper Princess Pitch.
Okay, so the deal is, you're Mr. Minimal, this little cute cube guy, and all he wants is for the world to be gray and quiet. Unfortunately there's evil colorful aliens running about, so you have to shoot them all down, and repaint the rooms back to their boring gray tone!
Features:
- 6 unique weapons - Paintbrush! Spraypaint! PAINTZOOKA!
- Room painting - See each level's rooms turn into dull gray minimalist rectangles as you clear them!
- Awesome chiptune music - High energy 8-bit style retro music, oh yes!
- Dynamic music - Each time you destroy a jukebox, the corresponding melody cuts out!
- GAUNTLET mode - How long can you survive the waves?
- Evil Christmas trees. 'nuff said.

Hey, nice game. Certainly a step up from your previous game, although I enjoyed the music in Gulliver a lot more (you gotta admit Gulliver had an awesome theme song).
Keep it up!
Thanks! I wish I had more time to spend on the music, ideally each level would have had a different song. But alas, time limits...
Great soundtrack and sound stingers for this game!
Very Well done! nice touch that near the end it's lesser of music tracks. and LOL ms-paint weapon :P
Awesome game yet again, Gotta say this one makes me feel more like a villain more than the last game.. I don't wanna destroy the music :(
I really like this. Bonus humor points for MS Paint. Loved how the music would gradually turn off as you destroyed the jukeboxes. It was really fun too!
Nice music, and I really enjoyed the weapon and painting mechanic.
Great fun, the weapons are amazing.
Stellar music, but at this point we expect no less from you. ;)
a lot of fun! though I kind of wish it changed a little more after the first level. still, it's impressive work for a weekend! :D
Yeah! I totally wanted another enemy type or two, and more music! It's kind of blasphemy that I made so little music for this considering how quickly I churn out tunes, but...alas, needed all the time for coding xD
VERY impressive work for a solo, 48-hour project. Definitely fun, and had excellent music (as usual). Unfortunately, the graphics did feel a tad lacking in terms of detail, and the game didn't really have much "minimalism" going on besides the story. Regardless, I'm impressed by this entry. Nice job!
Awesome game!!! I liked everything here man. The starting music was very catchy too. I think the spraypaint was op tho :D and bazooka is up (underpowered? :D) lol. Very addictive game. Best i played so far. Awesomely great game!!!
Interesting! I actually feel like the bazooka is really useful for taking out enemy spawners, since it takes them out in 3 hits, and since it does splash damage it'll take out enemies too. But it really sucks for painting the rooms, so that's the drawback. The spraypaint is awesome but harder to dodge bullets when you're up close. Again, tradeoffs :)
Cute cube art, got me to play your game!
You nailed the retro feel on the music and sound!
My only complaint is it got a little repetitive after 2 levels. Sorry!
Made a speed run of me playing through on normal, no continues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiWdUjF5FTA
Finished in 13:55. Can you beat that?
Holy crap this game is amazing. The concept is great, the music is awesome, and it's just plain fun. I love the jukeboxes eliminating single tracks in the song too. Definitely one of my favorites so far - I finished it despite it being a bit too long for an LD game, IMO. My only suggestion would be to have more variety between levels, make the bullets stand out more from the background, and maybe have the ground-clearing have some more effect on the combat (color slows you down maybe?) rather than just something you have to do.
This game has some of the best audio I've ever seen in an LD game. Period. This is REALLY good, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Ahhh, really awesome game. Excellent music-- didn't want to kill the stereos =(
Wow, the music for this was fantastic! Probably one of the most fun entries I've played so far, very well done! :)
Beautifully done.
A charming and fun game in every aspect.
5s across the board!

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.
Awesome game, really loved it
