Use of the limitation
I interpreted the limitation as something that prevent/makes difficult to to fulfill your objective. So in my game a crab that wants to paint can only move horizontally (crab things) and can't paint easily; therefore "he is his own enemy"

Cute graphics but it is so hard! I knew I was bad at drawing but failing to paint a hat properly after 20 tries is just embarrassing.

Developer

the worst part is that the hat wasnt supposed to be so difficult, i screw that level really bad!
thanks for playing!!

this is a wonderfully cute little game! had to switch to firefox to get decent performance, but it was fun! proud of my sun hahaha

the sun, with a lot of colouring outside the lines

What a lovely game!

I agree with some other comments regarding difficulty, I did get all the pictures but the sun and the watermelon took me sooooo long (haha the seeds were a real challenge). But hey, on the other hand, it was exactly the difficult that kept me hooked because I was always on the verge of getting it (85%, 87%, etc). 

Other thing that would be nice is a quick way to restart the painting (because sometimes you realize you screwed up and you won't win the game but you have to go through the whole drawing).

The crab model is absolutely adorable and the game is super polished. The concept of the game is pretty unique and fun, and the idea to allow mixing colors by using both buttons was the cherry on the top. Overall really solid entry, great job!

Developer

you are right! a restart button when game already started is a must!
thank you for the feedback and for playing my game! it means a lot <3

That was really cool! The crab model is super cute! One thing that made it much harder was the lines moving but I do like the effect of the lines moving like that. amazing work!

Developer

hahaha it did? gameplay compromised for juice!
thanks for playing!!

Amazing how polished this game is!

This is almost like a commercial game, kind of incredible that you were able to pull it off in only 3 days!
And the quality is amazing, plus it's 3D!!!

Only thing, for me in the browser it runs reeaaally slow, so it takes one second or so after I click before the crab puts down the crayon, so it's really hard to fit it into the frame.

So maybe for reactivity this game would be better as a desktop version?

Amazing job in any case!

i didnt had time to do any optimization so thats probably why performance is so bad hahaha

thanks you very much for playing and for your kind words! it means a lot <3

I love this game. It looks amazing and the little crab is adorable. I like the way you incorporated the limitation. Well done!

Developer

thank you so much for playing! i love  the little guy too!

Really fun and interesting concept! I love the idea of the coloring pages and filling them in switching between colors. But I think having drawings that fit the form of how the color goes down might have made some of the puzzles look better and feel better. over all great game!

Developer(+1)

i understand. i didt want to use just square shapes for drawing and also liked how crab painted like a child hahaha

thank you for playing!! <3

Really cool! It's such a simple mechanic, but very clever. This is an excellent example of how constraining the player can make for interesting gameplay. 

The 90% requirement might be a tad high though (or I'm just really bad at this game!). Like some others below, I couldn't get past the straw hat. Got something like 86% with my best attempt.

Otherwise, I don't have much to add. A fantastic job on the art, music, and gameplay fronts. Well done!

Developer

seems like i made difficulty to high.. crab wants perfection! hahah

thank you very much for playing!!

This game is such a lovely idea!  I love the style and the  simple mechanic. Also the soundFX are blending  in perfectly with the little crab :-)

This would be a perfect game for kids, but as others were already static, it might be  a good idea to make the  "check" more forgiving.

Developer

yes seems i messed up the difficulty hehehe
thank you for playing! <3

Really great art and fun concept. It's hard to make a 3D game look good in this short amount of time but I think you did a wonderful job keeping the scope small enough to have time for nice animations and polish. Good work on the programming side working with textures and colors, scoring, etc. Overall very fun game!

Developer(+1)

man thanks a lot for your kind words! it means a lot!!

Pretty unique concept, and really cute art.

I felt the  90% accuracy requirement was a bit steep. I couldn't make it past the hat although I got really close.

Developer

yeahhh i should have made more balancing adjustments rather than creating more levels :(

thank you very much for playing!

AMAZING! The presentation, everything, great work! i couldnt get past the straw hat also, 89% was my maximum there.

Great work!

Developer

straw hat is final boss! (not really hahah) i think i messed up with the colors configuration in that level (or should lower the 90%) :(

thanks for playing!! <3

Wow. Everything about this game is just so perfectly adorable! Love how the crab walks and draws all silly. Truly a masterpiece in the art of cute game making and simplicity! I feel bad because I couldn't get past the fourth level, little crab was is hard on himself. He draws beautifully lol.

Developer(+1)

you are right, crab is too hard on himself! should have made goal less than 90%
thank you very much for playing and for your kind words! <3

Quite challenging game! Couldn't beat the straw hat, but the presentation was gorgeous, and the idea was super duper original! I loved it!

Developer

it wasn't supposed to be so challenging!! i messed up the difficulty bad :(
thanks for playing!!

I really enjoyed the concept of this game! However I'm not sure if the frame rate is supposed to be low or if that's just on my end, and I could not get 90% on the first level

i didnt had time to do any optimization, my bad!
thanks for playing!
