I wonder now where I can get an Etchflix subscription. Probably through the mail!\r\rThe especially bouncy diagonal level was tough - making it easier to draw lines at odd angles could be a useful feature, though I'm not sure what the best approach for that is with WASD conttrols.

Really fun physics game. The physics seemed to sometimes not be repeatable. The ball would bounce 2 or 3 different ways off of the same bit of line. This may have been intentional, but it made it difficult to adjust my builds with minor tweaks. Still I played it for a long time, so it must have been really fun! The music was good too, very fitting and didn't become annoying after listening to it for a long period of time. The little interlude\/intermission ads done in the style of etch, were very well done and humorous.\rGreat game!"},{"author_name":"juaxix","author_uid":"10960","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 9:08am","epoch":1472720580,"text":"omg, i always wanted one of this! :) thanks for make it real!"},{"author_name":"Sean","author_uid":"50235","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 4:44pm","epoch":1472747940,"text":"Cool concept, and the visuals do a good job of conveying the etch-a-sketch aesthetic.\rI would've liked if the "cursor" moved a bit faster though, on some of the puzzles it was really tedious just navigating to the right spot."},{"author_name":"GamerJenn","author_uid":"14804","time":"Sep 2, 2016 @ 2:56am","epoch":1472784660,"text":"Very clever game, super fun!"},{"author_name":"TerraCottaFrog","author_uid":"55226","time":"Sep 2, 2016 @ 4:03am","epoch":1472788680,"text":"Really fun concept, really fun execution.

This really could turn into a full game (maybe mobile). The graphics are great and the controls are great.

I enjoy the stickers on the front, and the fingers moving the controls.\r\rThe force effect was clear from looking at it, and after a my first encounter with the disintegration and no-draw-zone it made sense of what they did. Good communications there. \r\rThe elements and controls were good. I ended at the gray\/no-draw-zone cross level. \r\rSometimes the physics seemed to vary from one ball re-spawn to another. Some times I had to erase\/shake more than once to get the ball to follow its original trajectory for a level (happened on the cross level).\r\rI am impressed! Great visuals, good puzzling, creative mechanics. Nicely done!"}],"images":["ld36\/56703-cf6b788dacbc36923104c49d67889444.jpg","ld36\/56703-9a842aff7b25b805c98ec9e3c4214bfd.jpg","ld36\/56703-f97753d0b4b813279d2e0cd2514d94bc.jpg","ld36\/56703-e4d528cf14032c1ab3ec854691964053.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/mooncalfgames.com\/kvetchasketch\/LD36_fixed\/index.html","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"1349","g_author":"56703","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"1313","g_title":"Kvetch-A-Sketch","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"20","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/56703-shot0-1472519073.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/56703-shot1-1472523497.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/56703-shot2-1472523497.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/56703-shot3-1472523497.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"In a forward thinking move in 1983, Kvecth-A-Sketch obtained all mobile display patents and destroyed all potential competition.\r\n\r\nEnter this reality and enjoy Kvetch-A-Sketch Turbo's flagship game!\r\n\r\nSpace to shake the screen.\r\nWASD or arrows to draw a line.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAndy Gainey : game programming, shaders, game design : experilous.com\r\nLuke Schroder : art, game design, sound fx\r\nKevin Smith : game design, game programming\r\nPeter Jones : title track\r\nNathan Walker : game design, game programming, animation, ux\/ui design, shaders : mooncalfgames.com\r\n\r\nPatch 8\/31 : fixed inconsistent physics, level loading no longer breaks\r\n","title":"Kvetch-A-Sketch"}
