Very cool game man, really enjoyed playing it :D

A nice relaxing game. Very simple but I spent some time in it. My only problem is that when you have a lot of ink you can't really use it, because your screen isn't wide enough. Maybe scrolling that follows the mouse?

Took me a while to understand the principle, but i am glad i made it as far as 45. Maybe i am just clumsy. Cool game!

Fantastic. Love the idea of expanding on your resources as well as how the game presents how losing might be actually winning. Music is absolutely lovely. Bravo!

best game out of the 15 or so that i reviewed today. well done. mechanic work really nice, intutive, challanging make sure you rate a lot! you deserve a high score.

Love it! Kind of confusing at first when I could only make a dot, but after a couple of tries I got those flashbacks from when I was younger playing those flash games like Line rider, definitely had a blast playing this game!

Was a bit confused at the start when I had no ink, but once I got it I really enjoyed the concept.

Never seen before game.

Great game! Kinda addicting, would be great as a mobile game!

itsbamboo 2019-10-07 20:12

Feels very nice to play

This is a great concept. I would like to see it expanded, especially on mobile. Awesome execution too, 5/5

Cool Game but the trampolines are extremely annoying. I was at like 1250 and one launched me to 500 after i stopped it. Good job.

This game is awesome, great job! Very fun, concise and addictive game loop, and plenty of powerups and upgrades to keep it interesting.

merkisoft 2019-10-07 20:53

can't stop playing... you should really put this forward. add a hight level, add goals (flying 500 meters high, one straight line etc...)

Amazing, loved it did not manage to get the moon but had some good fun with it for a while, Great job! took me back to the line rider days! the speed upgrade did not do much for me id rather have other pen colors with some varying functions to upgrade maybe.

Very addictive ! :) Really cool

wansou 2019-10-07 22:56

I love grinding games, altough its kind of hard to get the bouncy ball; its possible, loved it dude!

igorosky99 2019-10-08 00:07

Good Game! My best is -64 :smile_cat:

thechemist 2019-10-08 00:31

This is awesome! I keep getting better and it keeps offering more things to learn :D

Very nice game! Had a lot of fun on the early game. But I must be missing a control, I can only draw a single not very long stroke, so even if i place the game on my first monitor and draw a line all the way to the opposite side of the other monitor I can only ever get about 80 ink, and since I can't see where powerups are, going further than that is luck.

jeritens 2019-10-08 01:58

@kroltan I hope I don't missunderstand you. Are you only drawing a single line at the start? Once you release your mouse the ball is moving but you are still able to draw while the ball is moving. This way you can manipulate the ball to get to a powerup and continue the run.

kroltan 2019-10-08 02:05

@jeritens That... Makes so much sense, I don't know why I hadn't tried it!

dygar 2019-10-08 05:33

Dang, this ramps up quick in intensity

coatline 2019-10-08 21:27

Wow man. This game very much surprised me. I played like, an hour of it. It is so very addicting and satisfying when you get a really big chain of powerups. The most satisfying thing of all was when you got the bouncy ball, got a whole lot of speed, and then hit a bouncer thing and get propelled all the way across the map. One thing though. The music got VERY annoying. It was just a loop of piano cords. It would be great to have a way to toggle it off. Great Work!

kyle-bowman 2019-10-08 23:42

Fun and cool game! Feels very polished and it definitely reminds me of some classic games I used to play. Music gets old after a while. Great job really enjoyed this one!

jeritens 2019-10-09 03:01

@coatline @kyle-bowman Thanks for the feedback. We are glad you like the game. I know the music can get annoying, sorry about that. We wanted to do everything by our own and I tried to create something on the piano. The catch is I started learning the piano by myself just a little while ago. Therefore my skills are very limited but it was fun trying to come up with something.

twelvoo 2019-10-09 05:38

I love it so much! Well-polished and interesting!

nikita-lozhkin 2019-10-09 08:40

Good game!

jk5000 2019-10-09 13:29

A really interesting and fun little game. Both the music and graphics is pretty good. The game starts a bit slow, but when you have played for some time it becomes much better. Overall a really good jam game. Well done.

sillyman987 2019-10-17 17:53

So awesome! Could play for hours! Can't make something like this, so keep up the fantastic work!
