I loved so much about this game, it's a hidden gem. The gameplay is a unique mashup of Pokemon Ranger style combat and a roguelike, and it feels really fun to play! The movement feels just fun, especially when using the run mechanic, which I think makes the game intuitively a blast to play. I love how some upgrades are a choice between stat upgrades and some are a choice between abilities/powerups, it makes the rewards you get after obtaining stars feel more varied and less formulaic. I think what sells this game is the theme and art style, and how its integrated into the gameplay. The concept of having a literal pen run out limiting your ability to draw is really cool! I thought the run move was especially unique. The art style is a great mix of this cute hand drawn sprites and real images, which makes it pretty funny. The theme, art/UI style, and gameplay all being tied together really makes this a unique package with its own identity. The criticism I have comes from the balancing, I think the pen doesn't have enough ink to start with and the enemies pile on you way too much before you have enough upgrades to be able to beat them effectively. Overall, fantastic game, I really think deserves more ratings!
