I loved the hand-drawn art and even voice-over audio! There seemed to be some problems with the mouse getting stuck in a drawing state, although when this happened I actually liked it because it made it easier to scribble around without holding it. Overall I thought it was a really neat and original idea. Very much reminds me of a parlor game like exquisite corpse or something.

The game isn't working for me unfortunately, so I can't give it a score (I'm using Wine 7.7 on Linux Mint 20.3).

Also, I've never heard of RAD Studio up until now. I'm definitely going to check it out.

Really nice game ! 

Could use a more soothing & relaxing soundtrack to complement it.

In terms of feebacks & bugs, I don't have more to add to what has been said bellow.

(maybe a scoring system to reward you if you draw properly, some mouse event registered a bit weirdly, etc..)

Appart from that, It's a cool game. good job :)

seems nice, I especially liked the little poem at the start. Music was great, and the hand drawn tigers looked really good, but the game doesn't really reward me for getting the image close to the original. Also I can't start drawing outside a box, and I also can't stop drawing if I leave the box.
Still, a fun game!

My 4 and 2 year old loved this. Constantly guessing what it will become.

I did encounter a small bug, mouse up events are only registering if you let go of the mouse above drawable area, causing drawing to get stuck to "on"

It could use a scoring system on how well you did.

Finally, the music didn't really fit the casual/relaxed style of the game.

I am thrilled that your children liked it! My three year old was one of my playtesters. You should drop me a Follow because I have posted several and am soon to post several more games specifically for preschoolers.
