Simple, Brilliant 2d Game

Everyone should check this game out. Just a simple exploration game that makes brilliant use of low quality graphics and music.

Thank you so much for sharing! That was quite possibly THE most original / creative game I've ever played. And the fact that anything could be so much fun with such.. primitive graphics. It's amazing. 8-)

That was great I really like how the image is revealed as you explore this seemingly random world of pixels. The music was great as well. A great original indie game.

That was really cool. Not sure if there was a point to it but still cool. I like how the artists was able to express so much with such a low pixel depth.

Simple, yet creative... I like it.

I rate it... 10 gold stars and a cookie.

I loved and hated this at the same time. It kicked my OCD into overdrive and I needed to reveal every single pixel before completing the area.
