Hey! thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
No I wasn't left by an artist, I was on my own from start to finish. I didn't draw art (aside from the player) because it helped me spare some time and I also thought it suited the word "blank" in the theme quite well. The story and game idea then came after :))
I'm happy to hear that it was clear that the drawing mechanic was there to help you navigate the level. That they disappear is definitely not intended though! I'm sorry, that must have been quite frustrating.
Yes you are absolutely right, I should have made a 'click to continue' prompt. Especially since most of the games' content is just text. I just didn't have the time to implement it.
I'm glad you made it though even though the impro track was annoying (among other things). I guess it served its' purpose haha :))
