Fun game. I had trouble drawing circles and the game proved it :S

Submitted

What a twist at the end lol! Drawing basic shapes was hard enough already, but a rhino! xD Fun game, the presentation and art style are top notch too, well done!

Submitted

I love the vibe, the graphics and sounds are charming! It was really fun and that rhino got me hahaha. I got a bit confused when a shape was used twice in a row, my brain was slow to realize the next level had started already. Great game! Thanks for sharing!

Submitted

The lag that appears after drawing for a long time adds a challenge – you try to finish the shape before something catches fire, lol. Great game, thanks for your work!

Submitted

As someone who had to hand draw as perfect as possible geometric shapes and get them graded at school in the past, I thoroughly enjoyed this thank you.

Submitted

When drawing, the FPS seems to drop, and the music lags for some reason. Other than that, the game is good.

Submitted

Cool game, and pretty funny too. The best/worst shapes are decided weirdly tho. I'm better at square than circle but the seems to not care lol.

Submitted

It’s fun.

Closing a line multiple times does not seem to work. For example a figure 8 is detected as a single circle.

At the end I was having to really aggressively optimize the shape checking algo to avoid blocking the game thread/freezing the game. This was one of the side effects of that.

Submitted

The grading comments are funny, especially when my almost perfect square receives the same grade as the mouse that looks like a circle.

Submitted

great game, it's like working a shift at a factory

Submitted

fun game , that ryhno got me offguard to be honest :)

Submitted

Interesting game! but I'm skill issue at drawing perfect circle XD

Submitted

Great game, I really enjoyed the soundtrack and gameplay. My potato computer slowed down every time I started to cut out the shapes) it was fun)))))

Oh those pesky slow downs. I need to find/implement a faster algorithm for doing those flood fills—that's how the game counts the number of pixels in the shapes you've been cutting out!

Submitted

Fun game!

What was the algorithm for judging the shapes?

Some images where a bit rough to attempt with a single line, like the boats.

Developer

It looks at the percentage of all black pixels inside your shape and gives penalties for every white pixel that made the cut too.

I see! If you wish to expand the game, I think some very simple machine learning algorithms that could give very good results!

They can recognize patterns instead of doing a pixel per pixel comparison, which is more similar to how a human compares images.

Submitted

Loved it! Loved all the sprite and animation details, it really gave the game some personality. The judging system felt super arbitrary, my worst drawn circle was the only one that got an A, but I just think that adds to the charm tbh. Had a lot of fun with this one!

Developer(+1)

It definitely feels a bit arbitrary at times but it's not haha. The game finds the largest area inside your cut out, and then the game checks it to see what percentage of the black pixels your shape included—if you go outside the lines you get an extra penalty for every white pixel in the shape.

Submitted

Very cool concept and unique interpretation of the theme! Love it.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Pretty good.
It is an interesting interpretation of the limitation and theme together. Well done!
The rat shape was a wild addition, haha.
Solid, well done!

Thanks for playing!
