A beautiful game, brilliant everything. Well done.

scarletmayhem 2019-10-08 06:43

Nicely done! Was a little confused with the UI at the beginning, particularly with the repeated start button, but overall it was really amusing!

duboisaxel 2019-10-08 06:46

Really liked the sketch drawing design, the mechanics are intersting and its also challenging which makes the game fun to play.

johnfn 2019-10-08 06:48

This is a really clever mechanic. Also, the dedication to the handdrawn feel on the graphics side of things is really something else. Great stuff here.

afestivedolphin 2019-10-08 06:51

Creative idea! I love seeing artistic draw your solution games! The little details are fantastic too, like when you're laying down a block and a tree spawns on it in the background. Overall tons of fun and quite a bit of content too! Love the power-up ideas especially the spring lol

Very good! And a very polished game. One nitpick: the catapult physics are really unpredictable - you could be flung very close or very far, so it's kind of imbalanced. With the right amount of tweaks this could be a great mobile game!

tohubohu 2019-10-08 07:04

I love this. I was excited to play your game when I saw you posting during the development period, and I'm glad it was built for WebGL. The theme is well done and consistent throughout, the graphics are really enjoyable, and the gameplay is just a lot of fun. Fantastic submission!

tobias-maushammer 2019-10-08 08:27

Thanks for all the great feedback, we're really happy that you are enjoying Scribble from Scratch :) The strength of the catapult varies depending on your position on the catapult and your input during the flight. Which is as you said rather unpredictable. Maybe I'll find the time to rework it in the next few days :)

lonewolfdev 2019-10-08 10:57

Wow!! The aesthetics are awesome, the effects of pen and paper are really cool, and the game itself aswell!! Really good one, I love it!!

tricky-fat-cat 2019-10-08 11:02

The game is good, it's not very innovative, but the art style and level design make this game very fun and interesting to play! Great job.

crazywulf 2019-10-08 11:24

The game is really fun and i like the art style. The drawing sound is a bit annoying and the cursor is not intuitive.

ryzy27 2019-10-08 11:46

Great game and so much content. Art is amazing. How many people worked on it? Because it looks so cohesive. I like that you took time to adjust forces to work with grid that you picked. I wish there were more sound effects and some nice quiet background track. Thanks and good job guys!

lucidus 2019-10-08 12:08

Love this game... Great idea and graphics!

danielmotta 2019-10-08 12:12

Love the game!! The effect of something sketching <3 <3. Great mechanics and atention to details, like the pen ink, the background... great job

baski 2019-10-08 12:23

Really great graphic style. Scratch sound is good but maybe it should be little bit lower. :D Mechanics are great, a little unintuitive but overall great game ! (And it's little bit same as my game :D)

emma-b 2019-10-08 17:32

Very fun game ! But damn I hate this catapult, I'm stuck at the level where you only have them :'( Graphism are cute and works very well. I like that it evolve with us by adding scenery or "yikes". Yikes everywhere! (yes, I died many times)

namnam 2019-10-08 17:33

Just Wow, I did all the level and had so much fun ! Every aspect of the game is great and polished. Great job guys !

tobias-maushammer 2019-10-08 17:36

Hi Emma, we all earned a lot of yikes/nopes:D and the level you are describing is our "endboss" so well done!

Thank you all so much for your kind words and great feedback! And of course for enjoying our game :D

fiwon123 2019-10-08 22:44

This game is so nice. I liked to draw and resolve puzzles :) I loved the graphics!!

kurrik 2019-10-09 18:37

Very polished and well executed! Lots of nice details (like the background drawing, expressions on our ball man). Great job!

marmeladki 2019-10-10 08:26

I love the design espesially how trees appearing on the background. For me scratch sound is really hard to hear.

navrcl 2019-10-10 12:29

This is really well made and polished! Had much fun playing it. The art is amazing!

kuviman 2019-10-10 13:53

The catapult is really annoying but overall the game is great :)

bilalch213 2019-10-10 14:17

Very artsy game. Really nice and easy puzzles. I liked the fact that when you draw blocks, there are background drawings being made above them which is so cool! Pencil sounds are a bit harsh to my ears.

itsdanidre 2019-10-11 13:48

Very amazing idea! I enjoyed the big brain calculations and strategies that'd have been necessary to play. Although there was no music, *scribble scribble scribble* :slight_smile:

prodigalson 2019-10-11 19:34

Really neat idea and so well executed! I tried to cheese it by editing have way to remove and add more blocks but ya'll thought about before hand and that's very sweet. I want to see more of this with music. Really well done!

dane-tesla 2019-10-11 21:09

This game is so polished, congrats! It was fun to play and the scribbling sounds literally gave me ASMR xD A nice game with a lot of content, I reallt enjoyed how different solutions can be to the same problem. You guys rock!

korath 2019-10-12 12:25

Thanks a lot for all your feedback. We already tweaked physics and usability, but we are not sure if we want to publish the new version, because we don't want to influence ratings with post jam work. But after rating phase we will definitly come out with a new version, and most probably this game will make it to a full version soon.

yhi 2019-10-12 21:58

Incredible game! The best I've played so far.

drevilbrain 2019-10-13 05:18

Logical conclusion: place spring so that you immediately spawn inside the launch pad, then use your height to go inside a catapult and yeet yourself to the chest. Use speedboosts whenever you can.

tobias-maushammer 2019-10-13 18:45

@drevilbrain Sounds like a great plan! 😀

amerigo-gazaway 2019-10-16 07:00

Great concept and execution! Love the scribble sounds :)

t-bo 2019-10-16 20:07

Awesome game ! Beautiful art style ! Nice work on levels and transitions ! Congrats ! :clap:

peachtreeoath 2019-10-19 04:20

Holy crap this execution! I normally run gigantic teams like yourselves but I usually can't get results this cohesive. How do you guys do it? Have you all worked together a lot? I only see 1 other gamejam with this crew.

Hard to come up w feedback nobody else has. It's a great engineering game with a splash of unique art and theming to go with it. I love that it conjures up doodles everyone may have done as a kid. I died many, many times but I loved finetuning things over time and learning how everything worked together (and how much launching power they had). The thing I like about this game the most is that there are just so many solutions possible, I always love seeing that type of stuff. Awesome job!

philomory 2019-10-19 23:46

This is a really nice looking game; the attention to detail in the effects is fantastic, all the way down to the ink in the pen. Unfortunately, it seemed like a _lot_ of the puzzles could be solved with a single catapult. Also, the reverse catapult seemed to be filled with glue, because when I tried to use it it launched me approximately zero inches.

Other than that though, this was a fun take on a clever idea!

twelvoo 2019-10-22 17:30

I love the arts of this game so much! The effects are very well-animated and cute! I love the idea of the game as well. It definitely has the potential to be developed into a full game. Very good job!

lunareffect 2019-10-24 10:55

Excellent and really creative! Congratulations!

finnthepirate 2019-10-24 11:09

Art style, level design, ink concept, everything is Just Brilliant. you should develop this further into a full game. one thing though, since there is no music, pencil scratch sound effect gets little annoying after a while

captain-nakou 2019-10-24 13:47

This is FANTASTIC. Great idea, great execution, great art-style. Sound design is neat and all the details that add automatically to the map is genius. I wont have mind some music tho.

great work, congrats!

mec 2019-10-25 16:50

this was really well conceived. clever mechanics and overall cohesive package.

elysiagriffin 2019-10-30 00:12
