Fantastic game - the music and art were great, the puzzles were challenging but I got through them which I'm glad I did to see the end. I like the animation when a drawing is destroyed.

Submitted

I enjoy a lot this kind of puzzle games. Some obstacle were really good and fun to pass. Intro story is good, maybe the images were a bit out of place. I don't understand if last puzzle is intended to be impossible and work as an ending of the game.

Submitted

The Style of the game is very charming and the gameplay is fun, but personally I dont think the AI images work well here. Id rather have more of the smol silly wizard man.

Submitted

It was very  polished  and puzzles were done right. I am also impressed by the AI pictures. Overall simple game but had a great ending.

I am not sure I pass the last puzzle as intended. It needed some finesse.

Submitted

Funny game :)

Submitted

Absolutely adorable game with ingenious mechanics and puzzles!

Submitted

Great idea for a puzzle platformer with some decent mechanics. I was a little weirded out by the thumb toe on the wizard during the into but I did have a lot fun with game. Good Work!

Submitted

Fun idea to combine drawing and platforming! My only minor complaint is that the awsome black and white intro doesn't really fit the style of the rest of the game.

This game was very cute and lots of fun. a few of the puzzles really took me a bit and the ending was pretty interesting

Developer

Thank you!

Yeah, some of the puzzles may be a little tricky, but you managed to reach the end so thanks and congratulations! :D

Thank you! always a good sign for a  puzzle game to pose a challenge . I always liked the drawing becoming physics object mechanics

Submitted(+2)

You were there live on stream, but still, super cool game!

Like I said when I played, I really liked the idea, the puzzle and the aesthetic.

The visual could have a little more homogeneity, but it's not something that was too bothering to me.

I think the only the I actually complained about was that the music was a little loud, but you know.

Cool game, very nice entry!

Developer

Thank you!!

It is always nice and informative to watch someone play your game live, so I really appreciate it!

damn, I was actually thinking of making a pencil based puzzle platformer next. Might still do it, looks like a lot of fun to make. Regarding the game, suuper good job. For me personally the gameplay I enjoyed the most so far this jam. Also the mechanics and dynamics were very smooth! I really like that you have parts where you can draw and where you cant. Ending was really clever to. Hats off! In case you want some feedback, I felt like the art style was not up to par with the excellent gameplay. But you might have thought so yourself to. Just a minor comment, otherwise congratz on making this!

Developer

Thank you very much! :D

We like the project a lot and we put a lot of effort into it, so we are happy to see it appreciated!

And yeah, the graphics were improvised by me, and I'm not the best artist! ahahah

If you decide to start the project keep me updated! :)

Great game full of surprises. The ending caught me REALLY off guard.

Great idea with the pencil mechanic. So many fun puzzles. I also loved your opening cutscene, it was super charming and really added a lot of personality to the game. The sound design was also quite nice, in particular the death sound.

Developer

Thank you!

Yeah, a lot of work went into the sound design (kudos to Emanuele), and the death sound was a little bit improvised, so it's nice that you liked it! :)

Submitted(+2)

really loved this game! the puzzles were each unique and fun, trying to find the right shape, the art was super cute, the music was nice and soothing, overall a really fun gaming experience from start to finish! loved the attention to details, really great job!

Developer

Really thank you! :D

So did you finish it? Considering how much polished went into the final, I was worried that I made it too difficult!! eheh

Submitted

I did :) the hardest point for me was the 2-step steep climb - took me at least 50 tries before I understood the shape to draw

Submitted(+2)

I streamed this in my Discord and they said the in-game art was cute.

Developer

Thank you for playing! And thanks to your discord! :)

Simple, nice and clean! A fun little puzzle game :) ...AND IT HAS SECRETS TOO???

I can proudly say I survived the "final challenge" (no spoilers), can you say the same? 

Developer

It is all true!

For everyone reading be aware that, yes there are secrets, but they are super hidden, optional, and out of bounds! :-)

Mechanic it's very fun! Grate! :D

Developer

Thank you!! :D

Great core mechanic, and it felt very polished. Reminds me a bit of Crayon Physics Deluxe. I don't really play puzzle games usually, but I had fun with this one. The physics worked very well with creatively shaped drawings.

Developer

Thank you!

Yes, the inspiration comes from those types of games. we tried to merge it with a platform/adventure type of structure! :)
