You're far too kind, thank you so so much for coming by and giving us a look! I actually was playing your game on stream a bit ago and I was equal parts grumbling about how much -cooler- your game was than mine and loving on your writing/drawing animation, it was.. legitimately beautiful, truly.
The circles don't actually.. read at all. They're read by the bugs, and the bugs cast rays in 8 directions, and if all 8 rays encounter the line drawn within a certain proximity, it procs the stun mechanic. Uhh, from what I understand. I'm the artist and writer, so, take that with a grain.
Thanks again, and truly, you made a really good game!

Oh, gotcha, yeah that explanation makes sense and explains the behavior. It definitely worked well enough for the game, I was just curious if there was something I was missing. I hope you don’t mind but I clicked over to your page and found the stream, and I have to say, you picked up the drawing/throwing mechanic really quickly and were performing exactly the type of moves we were hoping players would figure out, which was really rewarding to see :)
