Well, definitely not the kind of game I was expecting based off the title, I was slightly holding out hope for some sort of stealth game but was pleasantly surprised by the puzzle mechanics in this game.  There's definitely a lot of ways to complete the levels with how the different... I guess soups?  Elements? Interact with each other in the game.

It was especially funny watching the hot soup just fly like mad.  Though I've gotta say the diagram until I actually saw the different types, was definitely a little confusing, and I feel like cold soup didn't really have a specific use?  I could've just missed it though.

Otherwise it has an interesting unique art style, though I do wish it didn't "pulsate" so much?  Doing it on the soup wasn't too annoying but doing it on some of the larger UI elements was definitely a little distracting just constantly having them flash over and over.


There are definitely some pretty challenging levels in here tho, it's interesting to take advantage of the drawing quirks and figure out what to do.  Especially the ability to remove one line, I tried using a few times to help out with certain bits.  Though it wasn't super helpful the way I did it probably has a lot more use than I got out of it.  Especially as a limiter.

I can see how the title would be misleading. Honestly, I wanted to share the entire premise of what the game's about just in the title. But I'm glad you enjoyed the 'puzzles'.

I couldn't exactly think of how to use cold soup in a fun way either. Its square, it has more friction, but with how the games structured, I can't imagine a specific use for it aside from being annoying.

Yeah I might have gone a bit overboard with the graphics~ I'll tone down the jittering especially with the UI, good points.

I actually had a 'mode' where you right click on lines to erase them, but that ended up just auto solving so many levels when I was replaying. So I toned it down to an undo, I'm glad you find it interesting.


Thanks for the great feedback!

Awesome drawing puzzle game! This is one of those games with visuals that really fit the theme of the jam, I love it. :D Unfortunately though I could only play until the first level lol, I might finish it later when I have time again. Good job! :D

I'm glad I was able to impress you with my mad paint skills. Good luck later :) Thanks for the kind remarks!

Clever way to use both the ideas of Paint and Soup. Good game mechanics too. Would be awesome to see some more levels and mechanics added to this to build up to a bigger game.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words, I'd love to make more levels, but in all honesty, hand drawing levels is a bit tedious ;-;

It's really amazing that you were able to implement this kind of drawing game in the short amount of time! Fun to play!

Developer

oh thank you! Since it was the paint jam I wanted to make the game itself feel really painty. I spent most of the jam figuring out how to actually do the drawing thing so I barely had time to make anything else look good haha.

This game is super cute and very fun! The mechanics are easy to understand, too! I did run into an issue on one puzzle where the float physics were a bit off and the pieces wouldn't move fast enough to not despawn before they got to the goal, but other than that everything worked excellently ^-^ Wonderful game!

Thank you! I guess I should bump up the despawn time just a bit~ I'm really happy you enjoyed it :)

Pretty fun game, the art style is  simplistic yet well done.   Good story too.  Could use some sound and the physics are little janky.   Also could really use a couple more colors for more contrast.

I'm glad you had fun! I left everything to Godot's natural physics system (due to laziness) and yes I should have added sound.
