De Stijl

Lester...How long have you been staring at that blank canvas? You always find yourself here...overcomplicating your prompts, overthinking your direction. What you need to do is focus on form and style. Take it back to basics... simple shapes...simple colors. I hope this will inspire you to make more with less.

Lovingly, Morea...the voice inside your head

De Stijl is a game about creating art with the end goal of creating a single form on the canvas. This can be achieved with a perfect "run" as the only mark committed will be the image of Morea's defeat. The gameplay loop is intentionally simple and the players singular focus is learning how to counter Morea's attacks. This will build up their gallery as they play and should push them towards a perfect canvas.

When Lester is hit, it smudges the canvas. If he is defeated it will generate a distorted askew version of his vision. 

Take on Morea time an again chasing perfection and build up your gallery. 

The art in this game is influenced by the De Stijl art movement that focused on simple colors and forms and countered the excessive style of art deco.
