Great addictive game
It's a very interesting game. To beat it, other players need to be serious, and I also had to draw diligently. Also, I must say the game's graphics are exceptionally exquisite and stylish; I couldn't help but draw ten pictures.
Great game! Was very fun to play it, especially when other players leave good hints. Only thing, it lagged, so i coudn`t play too long. But it was great experience, thank you all for your work!
This is a really cool concept. Gorgeous artwork, really well done on the random character generation! My only gripe is that you put the tool menu on the canvas, which got in the way quite a few times. Maybe there is a way to hide it and I missed it?
Either way, beautiful game. I love having the mechanic of looking over to the screen and back to the canvas, such a simple thing that I think really elevates the central concept. :D
Amazing! Love everything about it. The artstyle is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite entry so far
yo bro that's amazing! love the music, the art, gameplay!
Amazing and funny game !
Fish eye cammera and art style in general feels realy good. gg wp
The art style is really good as well as the overall system that generates the faces. I wish there were sound effects to this!
Such a style, wow! And music is so moody, loved it so much. Very interesting gameplay
Very cool game
A VERY stylish game, incredibly well illustrated. The fisheye effect looks amazing, the 3D models are excellently made, and the characters are drawn with a lot of charisma.
A great concept: the sketch you draw remains in the game, and future players will use it to identify the culprit.
I'll be glad to see this game among the winners :)

The only thing I’d like to see addressed is some kind of validation of the drawing—perhaps counting the number of pixels left on the paper—because during my playthrough I encountered a case where a previous player had left just a single line, from which it was impossible to determine anything.
Great game, highly enjoyable experience.
Really cool idea and great execution!
Very interesting, great idea, the face generation system is very useful, saves a lot of work, and provides a lot of different appearances for drawing and analysis. Some of the player drawings are really interesting.
Can't stop play this game :^) Well done!
I don't even know what to write. This game is simply great! This game is a masterpiece
Amazing concept. Great hob!
How were you able to do that in only 72 hours?? Looks amazing, the concept is great and it works smoothly! I enjoyed it very much, looks like a finished game !! great game!! :four_leaf_clover:
Wow, I’m really impressed by this game. Lots of excellent design decisions and it’s amazingly polished for a game jam. It was really fun to play and draw, thanks for creating it!
Really cool and polished game :D
In the jam version, I had some issues with the camera and a few UI elements that seemed to be misaligned, but other than that, it’s really well done! :)
Unfortunately, with user-generated content, you’re naturally at the mercy of other players’ goodwill. For example, I received a few images where no one even tried to draw a human face. But, of course, that’s not your fault ;)
Like I said, cool game, maybe a little grim ;)
Выражаю респект разработчикам. Прошу оценить мои умения рисовать по 10 балльной шкале, ник Shram
Wooooow. I am so much impressed. How incredible the characters look, both naturally and crooked by the general atmosphere of the setting. This is another level and on top of that you managed to cleverly put this as a game with shared experience. I was so happy when I was deciphering these little details, that actually another person wanted to tell me, this is really absorbing. And I tried my best to tell the others. Simply wonderful
Incredible what some people can achieve in a jam, this looks amazing! and the characters feel so natural. Really fun concept. Some issues with some people submitting very basic sketches, but overall that's hard to avoid. The camera moving around did sometimes feel a bit annoying trying to keep it steady for drawing, but not too big of a deal. Fantastic entry.
This is amazing! For me it's the most fun game I played through LD59. Art is superb and the gameplay is addictive. I'm also impressed that almost every submission from other players was valid and understandable.
Определенно интересным игровым опытом было получить бумажку с одинокой надписью "бомж" и вычислять наиболее подходящего под это описание кабанчика (распознать удалось корректно)
This was quite horrific. Definitely a frighening atmosphere. Moving around the screen is a bit nauseating. But I love the mechanic of drawing, and what it seems on memory (at least I couldn't look at both places at the same time), though I was surprised by the time limit. Really cool that I get other players' drawings?? If I understood this correctly.
WOW, this is really cool. a bit missing sound indication and tutorial, but I think I figured it out fast enough. Very atmospheric and cool and the art style is absolutely the bomb!
I just love how you were able to pull off an asynchronous multiplayer concept for the jam, and the stream of player-generated wanted posters was amazing and varied. Your face generator is insanely powerful, and the fact that the faces are even animated is the cherry on top! I would have wished for some more scaffolding to the game itself (an entry screen, a way of pausing, etc... and some more audiovisual feedback for the player interactions like the sound of a pencil scraping on paper, buttons and switches clicking etc... Overall this was one of the most unique concepts I've seen this jam, congratulations!
Faces are really great, both well done technically and with a cool art style. The desk is great looking too. I love your concept of asynchronous multiplayer with the drawings. Would be great to not send to the server drawings that are unfit (like too few strokes). Some simple sound effects would have really added to the mood. Really good work!
Снимок экрана от 2026-05-02 12-19-28.png The characters are really cool. I think I've almost figured out how to fully replicate the style—maybe just a couple of details left to nail down. =) And a very interesting choice of engine, too; I've never seen anything like this on Pixi before.
The art style plus the technical side of combining face parts together are WOW! Also I'm fascinated by the online aspect of the game, great job guys!
That was a super unique experience and kudos for executing this idea so well!

Incredibly cool for a game I don't think I have seen something like this for a jam before, especially using the online aspect like this, the art is fantastic, I love how everything looks it's super stylized and appealing
The artstyle is coherent and looks very nice. The characters turned out well.
The visual hints, which buttons you should press, are also well implemented. The overall control while drawing feels good.
As other people mentioned, some kind of feedback for the drawing would be nice. I had the impression that every pic gave me a point.
I tried to search for the phone number, but did not find anything on the internet. Is it just a random number or is it from a series or movie? I saw: 555-35358800.
The music fits the visuals and the gameplay. Really cool idea, that you see the pictures of other players.
I think I will start a career in art now. ;)

Really cool ! The visuals and the overall vibe are super polished, and the drawing gameplay mechanic is really fun, congrats ! :clap:
This game is incredible both graphically and conceptually! The style is so polished that I definitely see this being a top contender for an award. It actually reminds me a bit of I Am Not Human in the best way possible. Truly impressive work!
[ДЖЕМОВСКАЯ ВЕРСИЯ] топовая графичка, анимации и общий стиль, лучшее что я видел на лудуме. очень харизматичные герои. по геймплею тоже прикольно, но сложно или невозможно проиграть, и рисовать приходится чаще чем выбирать, что сильно утомляет, особенно когда три или 4 подряд надо нарисовать чувака.
по багам: - если переходить на другую вкладку и обратно, то музыка запускается поверх повторно, дублируясь - панель настройки кисти перекрывает часть канвы для рисования - у меня квота не падала ниже 3х даже при повешении не тех ребят, то есть геймлуп по сути бесконечный, нельзя проиграть.
по фичам: многие писали что часто рисунки не содержательные, можно было бы на факс добавить кнопку типа зарепортить рисунок, просто чтобы он не попадался другим. по камере тоже сложно управлять сильно, понимаю что это чтобы усложнить рисование, но ощущается вязкость от управления.
[ПОСЛЕ АПДЕЙТА] Интро -- МЕГА затянутое, если бы эта версия была на джеме, я бы дропнул не дождавшись самой игры. ну и перебивки текста между днями убивают пейсинг.
поправили юай в рисовалке + добавили лицевые контуры, как то ломает атмосферу, кмк. как и кисти -- можно одной нарисовать всё (но они и не мешают).
проверка на качество -- мешает сильно, я бы ориентировался чтобы просто пустоту не отправляли, или условно 3 линии, а остальное на модерацию самих игроков.

the style is cool but camera triggers a motion sickness a bit
A really interesting game for sure. I can easily see this being super fun to play with friends in real time. The art style is amazing, and the core gameplay idea works really well too.
The camera can feel a little awkward at times, but honestly it also adds a lot to the experience. When you’re drawing, you normally can’t fully see the person you’re drawing at the same time, so it actually ends up feeling pretty immersive and intentional.
I’m honestly impressed by how much you managed to do in such a short amount of time.
Congratulations! :tv:
The art style is absolutely gorgeous and the asynchronous multiplayer idea is genius. So fun seeing other players drawings come through. Incredible work for only 72 hours!
Incredibly cool art style!
Up until now this is my favorite game of this jam, incredible work in this short time frame.
Very cool work, improves artistic skills. I think these faces will stay in my head for some time.
Guys, why did you post this game as an extra and did not participate in the overall rating? Was it an intentional action?
@catanus It’s a bug apparently. For some reason our game ended up in a different category on the last day. Right now we’re trying to figure out if it’s possible to fix it somehow.
