It tooked me a while to understand the controls, and more than once I died losing control of my speed XD. Still a pretty funny game!

Interesting idea! The painting in the beginning was super surprising and really fun overall
I think the movement was a little too frictionless -- ended up falling off the map once or twice, but, overall good job!

the painting opening was so calming and fun, nice addition!

I really enjoyed the fact that you included the ability to paint and then use the art in game. So clever! The ice skating-ness of the movement made me pretty motion sick, but I got through 1.5 levels before it got to me too bad. Anyway, here's the art I made! (not the greatest screenshot, but it's an ocean sunset)

I’m glad you liked the inclusion of player art! Thank you for sharing your lovely artwork, I like the colors you picked! (Sorry the movement controls gave you motion sickness TwT)

I’m impressed by even the simple art system implemented in the game, and that the player’s art was used in the main game itself. Very nice!

As for the main game, while I had a good time with the game over all, the character movement was definitely very very floaty… as if I were on an ice sheet slicked down with WD40.

Over all, enjoyable game! Here’s a link to my play of your game on stream.

Hi! I went to watch your stream clip it was cool! I enabled the full screen button in the itch settings (not sure why that’s off by default lol) I love to see people putting genuine effort into the art part, that was really nice and honestly unexpected. I’m gonna need figure out how to fix the brush clipping issue for next time oops 😅 Glad you picked up on the idea of ignoring the trolls and going straight to the goal hehe. I definitely should have saved more time for combat feedback and level design. I died laughing at your reaction to the cat butt haha. I’ll look into better 3D controls next game oop. Yeah the last guys were money bags (money hungry little art thieves lol). I appreciate your feedback, and thank you for sharing your playthrough!

Really creative and fun game! It must have been hard to make the drawing mechanic and the gameplay in so little time so great job! The only problem I had was that the movement was kinda slippery. You could also limit how long the rope can get cause it was all over the place when it was too long. I got really angry at the thieves when they were playing with MY art, and it was fun taking it back :)

For the drawing scene I followed this tutorial to get the basics then added the options for brush size, color, undo and compression options on top of it hehe. I’ll definitely need to look into better movement controls for 3D if I wanna make more 3D games, and I’ll also need to look into joints settings for the rope thing hehe. Thanks for your feedback and I’m glad you and fun!

This game is amazing! I love my little art, maybe I'll have the confidence to be a 'real artist' now ^^ I jumped up from my easel, ran forth, and swiftly plunged into the void :3 Maybe it's a sign I need to go slowly and not burn myself out every time >.<

Sadly the game crashed on loading the 3rd level but really good job on everything, I loved it :)))

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and thank you for sharing your lovely artwork! I’m impressed how detailed it is given the limitations of the drawing tools. The sky gradient is especially nice. I’m so sad it crashed before the ending though TwT I’m gonna need to figure out what happened, thanks for letting me know. (You making art is what makes you an artist! Don’t let the self doubt or haters win!)

The 3D models are SOO cute, and as an "artist" i must say, the theme is very relatable! keep up the good work

what a lovely game :D I helped canvaskitty to find its place and become big and strong ^^

The level transition stretching made me laugh :D

I like the music and atmosphere of the game. The controls could have been more precise. But the game has a nice premise and it was fun to defend my art.

very silly and fun game! i spent probably too much time having fun drawing my masterpiece 😭 i was really happy seeing it in-game but unfortunately i wasnt able to screenshot it at the end i thought i had the time to look at it longer 😔

Ah shoot I probably should have made the ending scene a click-to-progress TwT Glad you had fun though!
