How does your game fit the theme?
Trace Against Time takes a chill drawing experience and adds a countdown to transform it into an intense race-against-the-clock game. Players must balance accuracy of their drawing against the ever-ticking hourglass to score the most possible points. The more accurate your drawing is, the more time you gain; spend extra time on upgrades to increase your score multiplier or unlock new tools like different colors and brush sizes!

This is fantastic. I love the variety of drawings once you unlock all the tools and score multiplier. The leaderboard is so smart, I got hooked as soon as I saw it. I do wish you could overwrite your score to be just the highest one (I ended up having like 5 places on there.. whoops..) Also thank you thank you for freeplay, it's such a cute drawing game it would be a shame to not have it. This could totally have an endless mode (with the time you get from drawing less and less or else it would go forever) or other mechanics. Great work!!!
Wow! I have to admit I didn't know our little drawing tool was capable of this, I love seeing what people have made. Glad you enjoyed it so much <3
If there was a leaderboard for freedraw mode you would win! nice drawing
Per your request, I changed the leaderboard to overwrite old entries and only show the highest one :) ty for the suggestion
I played on a trackpad so it was a bit brutal but I loved it! Such a fun concept!
Great little game, feels very competitive and very well done. The countdown really gives you an incentive to play when you're not really into just drawing
Really fun game and cute art style.
Well done!
😱 is that a vampire frog?...or a frog vampire...ty for sharing your creation :)
Great game ! It's an interesting take on the theme, the gameplay is very satisfying and addictive. With nice music and very cute and beautiful artwork on top of everything !
absolutely incredible game!! It's so well presented and intuitive.
ain't posting my score, I sucked at this 😭. What an enjoyable and cozy experience. 10/10
Sound design is lovely as well as the visuals. Idea of countdown doesn't stress you so much like in other games rather making you more venturous.
Love the idea - super enjoyable execution and chill vibe, this was great all around!
Love the polish. Very clever name.
This is like osu lol… pulled out my drawing tab. Got me pretty competitive.
Love how more features give you more levels as well. Very well done!
Nice, relaxing game. It probably wasn't smart of me to play this with a trackpad of all things though. Good job!
Nice relaxing game with a clever premise. I didn't end up making it very far but seeing the tip of how this game can unfold is incredible. Easily could be a standalone Steam game as is.
Really cozy and chill game. I made the mistake of jumping from level 1 to max level and almost running out of time, but luckily I recovered it. Thanks for the fun experience :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really cute game! Despite the timer, it still felt really cozy (✿◠‿◠)
Very well done!
The game itself is really fun, but also the vibes (particularly the music) are amazing.
Keep up the great work!
wuphy's music is awesome!
Oh my god I can't draw with a mouse... This feels really polished and really finished for a jam game. I especially appreciate the music. Great work!
I loved the vibe, and the mechanic was so well executed; I had a blast drawing circles even tho it turned out I can't draw a circle! Can't wait to see your next games! Good job everyone!
It was fun chatting with you on stream, thanks for the feedback!
Not having a drawing pad and using a mouse to draw on Paint has finally paid off
Even with the timer I find the gameplay really relaxing most of the time (not a bad thing imo). It does get pretty intense when you buy the perks early and have to speedrun the first few drawings. Very cool
We have a new king 👑DevManDan👑
Yeah we intentionally wanted players to be able to self-select their own difficulty that way in their search for a higher score! Congrats for being the current highest, very impressive :)
Damn this game was made for a graphics tablet! It works incredibly well on it!! Really fun game, I think some more upgrades and stuff would be awesome. Although I got completely thrown off by me buying an upgrade cancelling my current drawing
Good feedback, glad your experience using your tablet worked well! <3
Actually really fun! I need a tablet though, it was killing my wrist--- I usually draw with line tool like a weirdo
