Can I get somebody to play this with me sometime?

Seeing as you're still online, enter the code TJNKDAE.

You dissappeared from the online users after I posted this. I'd still be willing to play with you some time though.

I'm still here... I just shut down Virtualbox and Steam because Between ran very poorly. Then I compiled it from source to run natively.

Edit: You're gone now, apparently. MNNJFNP?

The only thing I don't get is how to create mixed colours (magenta, cyan, yelloe). Could you please explain?

I have no idea. Let's start playing it now and see if I can do something.

Edit: Woah, there's suddenly a ton of secondary coloured blocks in world 2.

Also, one neat trick is that you can "purify" blocks by simply repeating them until you reduce the impure elements below one pixel... eventually it comes out purely as the most significant color.

Did you do something with lots of green and a few (regularily arranged) blue pixels in between? 'cause that appeared on my field all of a sudden.

Maybe? It would have been more likely to be Yellow and Cyan...

I've now gotten to level 6 of the tower and it's getting quite repetitive.

I'm just starting level 9... in the Green Hill Zone in case you're wondering.

Though it is rather amusing seeing world 2 change every single time I visit...

Edit: Hey, I think I just figured out what that tall collumn on the left side of world 2 is. It's your tower, isn't it? Is there a similar collumn-ish structure in world 1?

I can't find anything, and it is highly unlikely that you can see my tower, considering that I am building it next to the real site, because it happened a few times that the game screwed up some random blocks.

... I think that might have been me? I think I stole a couple blocks from the tower near the beginning (because, hey, free CMYK!)... but yeah, your tower is shifted a little.

And now I finished my tower.

I finished too... but nothing is happening. Am I supposed to finish it in all 3 worlds?

I don't know... though I have an idea... perhaps it will do something if I move your tower to my target?

Edit: I tried the bottom layer and it isn't doing anything... Huh.

Do you see a complete tower where you think my tower is?

Yeah, I see a complete tower... with the mirror versions of the right colors too, just scrambled. Do you see huge piles of blocks in the third world?

I see a huge pile of blocks in the world with the green grass, but those are almost all created by me.

EDIT: I know you're not supposed to see the other player's screen, but this lack of information is annoying me.

Here's a picture of the big pile.

Hmm... I'm clearing out the green world... the blue world is the one where I have chaotic piles of everything.

Edit: Do you have, in any world, a tall stack on either the morning side or the night side?

OK, I'm sorry about this, but I really have to go to sleep now.
It was... weird (and fun) and I would be willing to try figuring it out again, but not now.

See ya.

Alright, good night. Tell me if you see multicoloured blocks in your dreams.

Yeah, this game is so not worth playing a bit. A friend and I got to the same point you did after ages of discussing via instant messaging.

And no. From some googling, nothing happens if you try to complete all three towers. This 'game' is just stupid.

Yeah, god forbid a game be about spending time with your friends doing neat things in an open ended environment instead of some outright obvious goal.

I keep forgetting that 'messing around with a cool thing with your friends' is so last century.

Well, I had fun.

It's just that it looks like there's a goal due to the tower-y thingy, but all that seems to do is play lovely music.

And normally you're not supposed to have this much communication with the other player.
