Love the concept, however it was not intuitive at first, I had to check out the info to understand what to do, it has potential, thanks.

After reading your comments, I love your idea for the permanent theme! I'm sorry you didn't have time to implement it according to your original vision. This is a clean, satisfying little experience. Nice work, and I hope you eventually build this into a finished puzzle game.

nice. Only thing I hoped for was an undo for the paint. But I understand. Still great game

You can undo paint by right clicking on it! Just make sure your equipped color swatch matches the paint you're trying to erase.

Really fun puzzle game! I was having a really hard time with the mouse controls though. It took me a while to figure out you have to drag the mouse while holding the buttons to do anything, and it's very inconsistent in terms of whether or not something happens, and that made things pretty hard to enjoy to the fullest. Despite that there's a great idea here and you should keep at it!

It's actually not inconsistent from my experience at all.

You spawn, don't move and plan your way while making sure the little bar next to the color isn't empty. If you leave your spawn you can't move anymore. To go through the dark lines you can always just paint 2 blocks that are next to each other horizontally or vertically. Also you can always take back the previous colors that you've put down.

It's a fun little game and I had no issues.

You may have discovered a bug! Simply clicking on a tile *should* color/erase it (if you're standing on the spawn tile, of course.) I'll have to check again to make sure I didn't mess something up.

Snap! I will try on a different computer entirely later on to be sure it's not on my end and update my original comment with what I find.
