Well I just noted that picking any color in the original image, filling the canvas with it and then submitting in crunch mode, I got higher scores than in indie mode by actually trying. Like, 23000 instead of 8000 or something?
But to be honest it actually added to the fun; at the beginning I did try my best to get close to the original images, but at some point I just drew them badly, and me and my friends had a heckin’ blast doing so!
Also it’s one of the few games I saw that look actually finished; got the menus, game settings, transitions, a bit of lore, even an option for a dyslexia font (though I’m not sure it really helps with the wavy shader).
Thanks for the experience!
The twist on the theme is EXTREMELY creative! I'm not sure if I'm doing good or bad just by seeing a number at the end.
Perhaps the score can be a percentage instead of amount of pixels or whatever it is now?
Feel free to check out our game if you'd like :D
This is a cool idea for a game !
I am the pixelartist for our game and really enjoyed this game, it reminded me a bit of aseprite.
This is a very interesting and nice submission, good job !!!
A great idea, and well executed. The music was getting me so hyped up to shrink those sprites! I was so engaged I didn't even realize the scoring was totally bogus until after I finished. Fantastic work.
This is a great idea . It give vertigo all the work you have to do .. Anyway super vibe
I really enjoyed it and found it funny how literally the theme was taken.
Neat idea!! I love the look of it and the soundtrack had me jamming so hard i forgot I was on a timer
