This must have been an interesting game to implement technically! I would love to see a gallery of other players work, perhaps something for further iterations. Well cone!

Yeah save and publish creations were on the list but didn't have as much time as I had hoped for the jam.

I need to show your game to my daughter... she will draw for hours :) Nice work!

Developer

That's great feedback!

Interesting take on the theme. I found it too awkward to do much of though. the cursor was miss-aligned to my mouse and found stuff just generally unresponsive.

I ran into the mis-alignment issue as well, enabling fullscreen seemed to fix it

This is actually a Godot bug to do with the window layout when the viewport renders at a smaller size than the project defaults. And only in the web build. 

Seems to happen on smaller screens. 

I actually spent a lot of time trying to resolve and work around it but yeah a full screen toggle fixes it.

Need to get some time to track down the cause and fix it in engine.

This is a super unique take on the theme, awesome job! I wish I was a better artist so I could do more with it, it's a really neat idea though and seeing your screenshots are super inspiring. Your loading screen/intro was also really neat, I might have to try something like that in the future. Good job on the submission!

Thanks! There is a severe limit to my artistic abilities too 😜
