This is wonderful. My first playthrough had me thinking about the two different types of “attack”. If you want to make a very precise piece of artwork, you need to rely on the lightning, which means you need to take your time and be patient.
So for my second playthrough, I tried to make a self-portrait, embracing the little mistakes and misfires that happened along the way. If I was even more patient, maybe there’d be no mistakes at all, but would I prefer that artwork?
I’d forgotten that the tiles cover up the play area as they approach the center. As I was staring at the screen, wondering what to do, sound effects begun playing - a tick and a tock every time the player hits the left and right edges. Those sounds allowed me to continue painting! Very cool moment.
Thanks for making this, I’ll be thinking about it a lot!
