The drawing mechanic looks really good! I don't like how it always feels like you're failing when a few little scrimbles die, but I guess... sacrifices must be made!

A super great little experience! Tutorialization needed help, and I want to feel like I have slightly better control. But honestly such a great jam!

Cool, innovative game. It took some getting a hang of, but was fun to play around with!

The drawing mechanic feels really good and satisfying to use. However, I'm not totally sure what triggers the game over. Is it just a timer? It's not very clear in game.

Using rainbows to save shapes I alway wanted to do that!

i get a black screen at the webgl screen.

Really cool drawing mechanic! Although it starts feeling more like a broom that you use to swat scribbles away at times, haha. And great artstyle!

Interesting and cute. I like this.

Nice game, i like drawing games, but that creatures has strange "gravity"

cute style, hard control(for me)

Very good game. I like the simplicity of the idea. It is something new and follows the theme well. The actual gameplay is really hard but that's the point I guess. Overall nice, simple and polished game. Good job :)

I appreciate how the cuteness of the blobs is an implicit punishment for letting them die. Very innovative drawing mechanic!

This game is really pretty! It's hard to make a brightly colored game that isn't an eyesore and you managed it. The music is engaging too. Great job Evan!

There isn't really any indication of what drawing actually does or how I'm supposed to do a good job. Does ink deactivate the bomb area? The impression that I got was drawing would have the opposite effect of _trapping_ the scrimbles in the bomb area. Or do I use the mouse to directly push scrimbles out of harm's way? If so it seems like there's not really enough ink for that.

Either way though, I played it a few times since the design was so solid. :)

Pfew, that was super challenging, those pesky triangles tend to run away when I try to encircle them! xD I really loved it though, very good idea and superb execution! Well done!

I get black screen after clicking play :(

really like the drawing mechanism

and the game fits the theme very well - no way not to sacrifice half your population to kill some yellow fellows :P

didn't quite get the scoring and game over triggers though

Nice casual game, liked the art and the idea (although a bit cruelish) Don't know how I got to the game over screen but that's fine.

This game is incredible! :smile:

I had a lot of fun playing it! :smiley:

The music and graphics you made are very nice and the mechanics are very funny! :sweat_smile:

Wonderful game :smile: :raised_hands:

Cute graphics and fun gameplay! Well done

Love these little guys! The mechanics are great, fits the theme perfectly, and the audio rocks too! Really nice entry!

Fun game. It was hard to play because my line cannot save them. Nice music. Well done ++
