How does your game fit the theme?
The player finds their painting ability only slightly reduces the anger they feel. But they continue to paint on, desperate to maintain some semblance of control. And the more the struggle to retain it the quicker it slips from their grasp.

This is very interesting! I like that it is meant to make you feel a specific emotion and it's very impactful lol. My anxiety went quite up, but I was also laughing.

One of the better games I've tried in this game jam. Well done!

It's modern art, baby! You captured the feeling of trying to rush things done before the deadline very well: constantly rising frustration and work becoming increasingly messy and full of mistakes. 

Really loved that game.

Thank you so much for this. It's really made my week. I'm glad you got it and that you enjoyed it.

I really like the idea behind this. You took the prompt and really ran with it in an interesting and unexpected direction. The way the brush waver is implemented is also interesting and nice, especially when you add in the unsettling changes to the music.

Very good job!

Im curious how anger develops? I was frustratingly trying to keep colors inside the drawings and doing a terrible job, but when I did well it didnt seem to change anything? Is that on purpose? Definitely fits the theme, love the music, but maybe gameplay is a bit in the way of fun.

Anger is constantly ticking up. Painting just makes it increase slower. So you're guaranteed to lose control. 

Thanks for playing!

This made me chuckle. It definitely wasn't what I expected would be made when I came to this jam.

I'm glad it could bring you some entertainment. :)

Hey man. This was so frustrating!!! In a good way though X)
Love how the pitch changes as the brush goes "out of control" :)
