Cool game, mitigating the influence of the red while maximizing the blue is a neat challenge, the hard difficulty was an intresting puzzle.

Art style and direction made me nostalgic for the NES era, music too. Thanks for the throwback!

ColorFuel Rider!C.F.R!Thanks -
Yeah, the controls can be a bit twitchy. It helps if you keep your focus on the ‘blue’-guy (which is the one you’re controlling; the rest are just copying), and press the button in the direction you want to move on the flat screen (i.e. up, down, left or right).
There’s some things that were supposed to make it more intuitive (like if you hold down a direction you keep moving in it, even if you’ve rotated around so it’s technically the “wrong” direction) - but I think those tweaks have mostly just confused people!
Very polished, perfect use of the limitation, amazing idea, and actually fun! Perfect score!

Monster MoverThat was super fun! I loved the concept of it and how you control both yourself and the enemy which works around the limitation.

Harvest From AboveGreat concept and - thought it was too easy until I loaded up the hard level and then had a great time! Love the work you put into the menus as well and making everything a cohesive style. Very well done game.

The Joy of Finger PaintingThis was a well-implemented idea, the controls felt a bit weird switching on each edge, but it feels good. It could make for a fun puzzle game :) good job.

Hangin' AroundInteresting idea for a puzzle game. Love me some pico-8.
It was a bit confusing how the directions changed when you release a directional button on a different side. It would also be nice if it could figure out when a match is won or lost even before all the edges have been colored in.
