I've never played Pokemon ranger, but enjoyed this! It's unforgiving (well, for me who was using a trackpad anyway!) but it was intuitive once I realised the need to loop and enemy multiple times! Nice Stuff

Cool and simple idea makes for a great game!

Please rate my game! Thanks!

Mate your game is broken. I draw as many circles as I could and nothing happened.

Developer

You have to click and hold to draw circles continuously. I tried to put it in the description but yeah not many people have been seeing it

Strong Pokemon Ranger nostalgia! Wish I could play this with a stylus on my old DS. Great work!

The comment section definitely made me go back and try the game again. I kept only drawing one circle and then only seeing "2" flash above the enemy heads. After going back and trying again I could at least get past the second stage. XD 

I like it, simple but challenging.

Developer

Thank you for giving it another go!!

Thanks to the comments I realized I had to keep drawing enough circles in one swoop to capture the ennemies! Once it was clearer that was actually quite fun to play! Well done on the mechanics.

I think it would be nice if the ennemies stayed clear from the edges. Nice work!

the art is really fun and i love the song! the drawing circles element is intuitive, but i wish enemy health was clearer!

its annoying but fun.

It took me a but to figure out how the game works, but once I did it was pretty fun. I like the concept, though it was a bit annoying that the enemies would sometimes go to the edges.

Good submission.

I was gonna come here and say the game isn't working but when i saw the comments i had to go back and check. And i have to say the game was actually really fun after that. A little annoying when the enemies would go in the edges and stay there for like 1min but i found out if you just zoom out you can go around the border(didn't use it  since it felt like cheating). Over all very fun and not as easy as i thought it would be.

Developer

Thanks for giving it another shot! Gosh I wish I could fix the instructions on that first level. The edge thing was definitely something I struggled with trying to fix. My brain couldn't figure out that logic in time.

It took me a while to realize I was supposed to keep circling, but once I got the hang of it, it was a lot of fun. Very like Pokémon Rangers.

Fun Idea! I didn't know I had to continually draw circles. I kept drawing one circle at a time.

Developer

Thank you!! Dang it I'll add a little note of it in the description

Submitted(+1)

I took sometime to understand that I had to keep looping around them 😆

But good job, the game was pretty entertaining!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! I will definitely update the page with a little how to play XD

Submitted(+1)

Not quite sure I fully understand it, but I vibe with it 😄

Developer

XD yeah I wish I could have done more narrative wise but oh man coding the mechanic took up so much time

Submitted

 That's a mood ngl, I've tried to work out how to make drawing mechanics before for an idea I've had and gave up very fast 😂

Submitted(+1)

This was fun and it had a very clear gameplay mechanic that made it easy to pick up quickly!

Developer

Thank you!!!
