Cool concept. I think it would be better if the shapes only had outlines so you wouldn't need to try to cover every pixel inside because that costs time and this process is not too fun. I like that no matter how hard you try to draw the shape it always turns out to be a weird mess, that is funny.

I'd never want such a tattoo artist though.

I really like the idea and the execution. There's not much to critique other than maybe add in some upgrades later on. How does the algorithm to compare actuary work?

Nice idea! It felt good drawing on them, but maybe let the player know where they have to draw. Congrats!

@nikita-demidov sorry about that :/ - it was being problematic during the jam - sometimes a reload helps. Otherwise, what browser/ os are you using?

Super cool idea! Well done with the image comparison. Didn't quite get how or when the game would end since I passed 1k pretty fast. Very well done for compo.

I think I found a new career... on second though, better not. Fun concept, would be cool to see this game continued.

I liked the idea of being a tattoo artist in a game. Wasn't so sure though if I was supposed to fill in the shapes or just draw outlines, and the scoring seemed a little bit random, and was hoping to have some overall goal to progress towards.

@lars-erik thanks so much!

While I wasn't sure whether or not I was only supposed to be outlining or filling in, man, you wrote an entire image comparison algorithm? By yourself? In 48 hours? I'm impressed.

I had fun (though my hands can be shakey in real life, so that made this tough). It was weird being able to tattoo anywhere (I tattooed the wall) and it wasn't very clear what the goal was or the scoring system. It was also a little annoying trying to fill in some of those shapes (more outline, less filling in would have been nice). But, even with those minor complaints, a fun little game.

Really nice idea. I'm not too sure about the image recognition. I got a couple of 100% images that were ... not my best work.

I did just fine by drawing the tattoo on the sheet of paper with the tattoo design... over the design lol.

It worked! Made it to $1000 before the end of day 2!

Cool concept I thought it was fun <3

Really fun game and mechanic! Like a real tattoo artist, the player will get sick of drawing hearts! I was starting to get really good at them too. It's a simple concept, but it's fun seeing how terrible you can draw. Also digging the general aesthetics despite some mismatching styles.

As others have mentioned, it would be good to implement some limitation to where the player can draw. Various zoomed in body parts probably would have worked a bit better. The game is also too easy. Plus it would be nice if the player was told how many days there are total. If you do continue this idea, it might be neat to have the best scored tattoos show at the end.

Other than the above issues, I had a lot of fun with this game. Excellent job!

Hi! I like the concept behind this game, but I think there are some points of improvement: - Missing audio loop for creating atmosfere. - The woman used as canvas should have inner clother otherwise it could be confused with an adult game. Also really like the screen shake, you use to give the effect of shaky hands. Congratulations for your work!
