How does your game fit the theme?
There is a countdown when flying and maybe this is a little loose but the trail decays.

Great game, this art fits pencil mechanic GOOD JOB!
yo thanks u did a GOOD JOB! too.
The pencil has what I call "Input Delay"
Great idea though!
yeah its kinda buggy and i figured out how to fix them laying in bed AFTER the jam ended so that was fun
The concept was fun and creative but it's a little confusing getting used to it, the artstyle and music are cool!
The art style and game concept are really fun. The choice of 1 being t he switch is really strange, but you do get used to it eventually. There are some weird game physics where you can get stuck on platforms and drawings, and stuff like not being able to jump sometimes on just a regular platform. But most of the time there aren't any issues and is fun to play.
Well done!
love the main protagonist, im such a fan of this derpy hand drawn graphics, it was really nice! as other people said tho the controls where kinda wonky, and also at first i didn't understand how to use the pencil, i don't think there was an in game explaination, but the puzzles where nicely made! didn't get much far into the levels because of the controls that were really hard to manage, but the idea was actually really great and fitting, nice work! ;)
I love the bg music, also the artstyle and gameplay are amazing
Thanks! it took me a while to figure that stuff out (i'd never really drawn for games or made music before)
Really creative concept and I especially liked the doodley art style good game!11!1!!
Thanks it took me a while to get an art style i liked!
This was a very interesting little game! I think the core idea is very strong and intriguing. I also enjoyed the art style. But I feel that the controls were a little bit finicky. I think doing something like having gravity not affect you in draw mode would make it feel much better to interact with. But overall, this was an enjoyable game.
The central concept here is very interesting, and all sorts of intricacies emerge as you draw the line. The puzzles are increasingly complex, and very clever.
Unfortunately, the control scheme was a bit fiddly; frequently, when trying to draw I would just drop my character off the screen (even through solid platforms).
Also, room puzzle games like this always benefit from a Retry button! (Yes, in most cases the player can just reset the level by falling off a platform, but sometimes the player character will be trapped by a line and unable to reach the edge until the line decays.)
Yeah i made a pretty stupid way to start flying, its that there are triggers on the edge of the blocks that are invisible (because im stupid), and THOSE give u the ability to press 1 and start flying. Yeah i put somethings on the wrong layer too so the player just flies right thru them...
Hey, game jams are a great place to experiment!
true i procrastinated a lot on this gotta have better time management for next time!
I enjoyed how you play through the level after drawing in it. The flag animation is very good. A locomotive would be a welcome addition :)
fair point skins for teh pencil
The drawing mechanic was much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I am still not sure why the line sometimes stays and sometimes goes away but was very cool nonetheless
Neat concept but the controls were confusing and sometimes after I drew a line I died while others I came back and could walk on the line to finish the level. I wasn't obvious why.
Wow, I like The Fly Mechanic. I enjoyed it a little.
Thanks! This is my first GMTK jam so i was just hoping to get something out.
