I love putting together puzzles, but I hardly ever get a chance to do puzzles with others. I made this simple game to experiment with a new type of puzzle experience at a grand scale. Everyone works together on a single puzzle. You log in with a color hex as your username. Each piece is a pixel of a 1000x1000 picture, which reveals as it gets built. Pieces are scattered randomly at first, and lock in when placed in the correct spot, at which point you automatically pick up the piece that was there and continue. Arrows guide you to the general area (hold a direction to move faster), but you still need to search the 5x5 target area for the correct exact location. The puzzle was constructed so each pixel is a different hex color, so it uses 1 million of the ~16 million possible colors in the picture. To make the image, I took a seed image and greedily assigned the closest available color to each pixel.
