Such cool graphics!
Don't know how you hooked the drawings up to the collision detection but it worked perfectly for me.
Cool particle effects as well.
Not sure if there was an objective in the game, but I found the sleeping dragon and dodged the licking tongues - which were both fun to do.
The paper-style works pretty well! It's a bit confusing that you can fly out of the level (flying upwards at the start) and end up on the wrong side of walls. It would maybe also be nice to be able to bump off the walls a couple times before dying, or maybe have it based on how fast you hit the wall.
Nice job, though!

"Ran out of time" written on the level, I lol'd! Really liked the handdrawn graphics and simple joy of exploring! Great entry!

Very enjoyable game, controls are spot on, and the artstyle is great.

I'm glad you tried drawing a paper game :D
The drawings really come to life when you can explore them freely, and I think you're onto something with this style.
I found it hard, however, to not crash into the check-points but with a little practice it was possible. Also, I wish there were just a few more levels to explore :)
Very nice entry overall!
A nice clear design ++
Lovely art style! Wish there was some audio, and that it wasn't so easy to die :)
The handrawn style is so cool!

The drawing is beautiful although the player character was a bit alien to the rest. It would have been justified to die when colliding if I was looking for something. But, as for exploration only, my curiosity to see the drawing is what drove me to repeat it over and over
It is a very beautiful game. Hand drawn graphics are amazing (+5).
There were a couple of places where there we discontinuities (thicker pencil followed by thinner on an otherwise continuous straight line). You might find it easier if you draw only elements of the level (boulders, rock plates, stalagmites, etc..) and then assemble them together. But then again maybe I might be missing the point ;)
Great graphics, cool exploration game!
Awesome graphics. Very cool idea. You should continue. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't turn the ship though.
Awesome game! The graphics are nice and the main idea is simple, but still fun! :D
A little cleaning up on the graphics and this would look amazing.
Great game however.

The graphit art style is adorable. So cool. Controls work well, nice exploring the cave.
Nice graphics, reminds me of http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/sketchfighter/. You got me inspired for a future LD ;-)
Also LOL @ the running out of time solution.
I initially flew outside btw, it would have been a bit more immersive if you had done something to prevent that (e.g. endless horizon).
Really cool graphical style! :D
And an amazing ending xD
A bit of music would have been nice, but I'm guessing you ran out of time, right? ;)

I dig handdrawn games, did one on a previous LD myself.
This one looks really nice!

Very cool graphics, I really love hand-drawn art in games! You really should compleat it! :D
I was totally enjoying this, until a huge framerate drop killed the game. It was by the savepoint north of the fire nozzle.
Loved the art, too!
Really cool idea. Reminds me of drawings I used to do as a kid.

Really good looking, obviously. Hand drawn graphics is splendid idea.
It may be a bit difficult for a game based on exploration and discovery.
very nice stylized graphics!!!

Aha awesome paper art. More draw and especially paper animation would have been incredible.
Game is already quite cool and also challenging.
