It's really fun, the mechanic is just really cool to interact with. I like that you can erase and block bullets too :D
ITs very fun to make your own platforms with the pencil and erase the ugly one. I think you did a good job.

It's a great little game with an interesting idea and concept! My only issue id that there's not much stopping you from just flying to the finish and winning.
The pencil mechanic was really cool and unique, I would love to see a game solely based around the pencil since it felt like the shooting and blocking added unnecessary complexity. I found the UI a bit confusing as well so a better tutorial or linking between the mechanics and UI would really help. It didn't really fit the theme (though maybe I was missing something), Great job for your first Game Jam!
Very well done! I liked the core mechanic of drawing the way through the level. I found it very difficult to use all of the controls. Shooting and blocking added extra complexity that I believe wasn't really needed. The core mechanic was the pencil. You could just make the pencil longer and destroy enemies and their projectiles if they come in contact with the pencil, much like BTP's game. Awesome game for your first game. You should continue to develop it!
Really well made core mechanic. The game could have used a little more explanation as I wasn't really sure how I was supposed to deal with the enemies. Nice visual style though and arcadey music.
The levels are bad but the game is fun. The game punishes you for no reason, for example on the first level you can fall trough the second part basically losing the whole game cause the developer forgot to patch the holes. Overall a preatty good game but the level design can be a bit better.
I love the design and the game graphics! music also tied it up into a nice small fun game!
only negative feedback i would have is the game doesnt really fit the theme and it needs a tutorial because i struggled a ton to begind with
A really nice mechanic idea and fun execution, it can be a little difficult at times, but I kept coming back to experiment on how to beat the levels!
