1-Bit Game Jam Submission: Compaction

Prompt: Start With Everything, End With Nothing

The premise is this: You're in a room where you have to claim all the unfilled spaces. In the process, the spaces get filled with solid matter, and you cannot go through it. If you get to 0 UnSolid pixels, then you win the current amount of prize money that you have (you don't actually win anything IRL). You may use the "Stuck" button to try and unstuck you or the current available space, but you lose 20,000,000,000 dollars (1/5 the original money). If you use up all the money and you or the space gets stuck again, then you have to click "Stuck" one more time to end the game. Enjoy!

This submission is kinda sorta inspired by/based on gambling cause you start with the chance of having the jackpot and when you scratch it off there's a big chance that there's nothing.

Also, the controls don't count as part of the game

They're a different color but they're not the rendering of the game

Controls: WASD or Directional Buttons, on-screen buttons toggle movement so just tap them. Middle square button or "shift" stops movement.
