Really clever idea! I included it in my OpenGameArt Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :)

Thanks! Watching you play the game was very instructive!
I'm sorry the controls weren't more clearly explained, a tutorial or help page is definitely on the 'to do' list once the competition is over.
The big concept I can see wasn't explained to you is that you are actually swapping colors around the image. So the process is select color A, then color B and then they will swap pixels. That's why the image keeps changing on you as you click around.
I also noticed the presentation got a little confused on first play through, with Game Over and some other text all coming on the screen at the same time, sorry about that! Definitely nice to have a video of the mishap, you can bet I will be watching that one over and over to try and figure out what happened and get that bug squashed! :)
Finally, I wanted to ask what size window you played on? I noticed the 'High Score' text came up over image at times. This won't happen if the window is larger. But it's totally possible I forgot to set the default window size large enough.
oh just checked and it's definitely my fault, that's the default window size. Meant to switch it to something bigger but I guess that's something else to add to the 'to-do' list ;) It will remember the new size if you re-size the window, so you won't have to re-size it every time you start the game. That much I did get in there before time ran up. :)
