Cool concept and great execution! The mechanics came together rather well. Here's a link to my playthrough... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1646685935?t=00h05m01s

I loved the simplicity of this game. At first I was expecting something like pictionary, so I was expecting that I had to draw something specific, but at least I was not limited to what I could draw! Well Done!

Great concept and I absolutely loved the touch off adding a "share what you made with your friends" message. I do however kind of wonder how this fits with the "so much easier than in real life" theme. Feels just as hard if not harder than drawing a stick figure with pen and paper?

Other than that, great execution, a few bug...I mean features that were probably unplanned for but overall great game : P

Since you drew others games..... Lovely concept. Cute and consistent aesthetic. Id be interested in seeing a version where points are placed photoshop style... eg. a point every N time units. May be a bit easier to draw and will simplify the controls a bit. Right click should no longer be necessary.

Wait is that my game, in my game... In my game??? Wild. Thanks for the art and I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

I gave the photoshop style thing a shot, but I really enjoyed how it felt to place lines instead. It somehow made it more fun to draw things so I just ran with it :) Thanks for the feedback!

Great music, and a relaxing interesting idea/execution.

I however can only give it Bridge Constructor / 5 for following the theme (the game didn't stop me from drawing once it ended).


Developer(+1)

I'd say that's a feature, and you made very good use of it  ':)

Thanks for amazing rating! I really never thought I'd make something Bridge Constructor / 5 level!

I tried so hard to draw something amazing, but I'm very bad at drawing xD Love the concept and the music, it's really nice and chilled. If I was talented like the others, I would've liked to draw the iconic Mona Lisa painting xD

It would've ben cool to have different pencil colours, otherwise I really liked drawing in your game :D Well done!!!

This game is fun and therapeutic, really enjoyed the vibe and artstyle

"Chill" is a good word to describe this. A relaxing experience, and the visuals have a nice, smooth presentation, if that makes sense? I appreciated the undo feature, though having it go back to a previous line would have been good.

Something small that I really liked was that the lines has this kind of tapering to them, making it look nice and hand-drawn. Very cool.

I decided to (only sort of successfully) draw some stuff from my game! 

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I would also have loved to go back to the previous line but I couldn't figure it out ;-;

Now I'm very interested to play your game, I'll leave a comment there when I get around to it! :D

Submitted

Drew some faces <3 very chill. Cool to have a new drawing experience!

Developer

Damn these are gorgous! Honestly I didn't think anyone would push the art this far, absolutely amazing

I love the concept! It was something different. Love the use of colour scheme.

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :D

I loved the atmosphere 😍 It was so calming. This was dope, thanks Luc.

Developer

Ayy any time Josh, can't wait to give you game a shot! (free lo-fi beats for the win)

Submitted

This game has a nice atmosphere and is satisfying to play around in! More drawing tools would be a great addition to the game! 

Developer(+1)

Ah it was absolutely on the to-do list, but I didn't have the time because of uni stuff :(

I'll push an update with colours and different pens at some point, I think the line renderer should be able to handle that fairly well.

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed the atmosphere, was very relaxing to just draw and fiddle with the controls. Would've liked to have different colour options though.

Developer

Thank you! More drawing options was on the to-do, but got scrapped to avoid scope creep. Glad you enjoyed it :D

Submitted

This is really cute and simple. I like the minimalist design. Only thing I would add is the ability to go back to the main menu and exit the game instead of alt + f4. However, I think the font and art styles combined work really well. Even though you did not make the assets, good job on picking ones that compliment the game concept so well!
P.S the drawing on the left is definitely just a salt shaker.

Developer(+1)

Ah. Adding UI. My worst enemy. 

I got lazy and the main menu only had a "play" button, sooooo... But I want to make a hardcore mode for only the most seasoned players, so I'll put it in then.
