What a great game honestly! it took me a while to understand the game (you need to move your mouse to the purple dots and move towards the red one) but once I did I loved the mental challenge. I really hope this game makes it to the top 20 :)

Developer

wow! thank you so much! I would be happy if this game made it to the top 1000 hahaha

What an awesome idea, really unique, and a great take on the theme. This is the game equivalent of rubbing your belly in circles with one hand whilst tapping the top of your head with the other, and I love it.

It took me an embarrassing long time to figure out how to play it. I realized based on the description and the screenshots that I needed to do something with the left two bars, but I only accidentally discovered that you have to start at the purple dots. Maybe add this in the description? Would probably help a lot of people :P

Overall great submission, lovely vibe, and indeed a great dedication to the Nintendo DS era of stylus games!

Developer

thank you for playing! yes, we struggled with the point UX, ran out of time before we could fully iron that out to make it clear to people how to start drawing...

This game's idea is RAD! I love the simplicity of the concept versus the difficulty in actually getting the line to go where I want it to go. The music choice was also perfect for the chill atmosphere.

Developer

thank you! yeah we intended for the controls to be a bit brain bending to use, part of the fun
