I really enjoyed all the layers in the background and how each scene had a different theme.\n\nThe platform drawing mechanic was a lot of fun to play with as well, although I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to take it. Maybe there could be a hint in-game?\n\nCongrats on completing an awesome jam entry!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":792202,"author_name":"makio64","author_uid":"makio64","epoch":1649178725,"text":"@joe-cowman @kali-mccord Thanks a lot, it's good to read that at the wake-up !

I losted my mind somewhere between 1am & 3am :yum: :gun: !\n\nDont hesitate to try it again, it should be very challenging normaly even with the drawing function! :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":793152,"author_name":"YarFunnyStar","author_uid":"yarfunnystar","epoch":1649182587,"text":"Visual is great!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":793184,"author_name":"aevek","author_uid":"aevek","epoch":1649182761,"text":"This game looks and sounds amazing, but I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do, it kind of felt like every level just ended and I fell off the end. At one point there was a level that sloped downwards so I got reset before landing on a platform which didn't feel great.

I have a question: sometimes I'd just randomly... die? turn into a lil green swirl? Am I not allowed to fall very far?

Was a bit hard to me to keep up with how fast the character moves, but loved stopping time and drawing the new lines, the animations when stopping time was definitely my favourite visual part of the game!

You have an incredible concept here. I absolutely love the idea of a platformer where you paint your own platforms, incredibly satisfying to do. Graphics and sound are incredible as well, the background city is gorgeous. I think if you polish this further you have the makings of an incredibly innovative platformer here.\n\nCriticisms\/post-jam polish wishlist:\n- Giant boulders falling from above are too hard to dodge (at east without 'pausing' using Space every second, but then the platformer section doesn't flow very well), I suggest either getting rid of them or zooming out so they're easier to see coming\n- Currently, music stops when you hit space to paint, which is a shame and a bit jarring. I suggest making the music muffled or something instead\n- It took me a bit to get used to Space being something other than jump, oops... Maybe an alternate keymapping?\n- Add collectibles (perhaps that you get snippets of story with) so you have something to do while trying to avoid death. At one point I finally learned how to survive but I let myself die so I could move on with the plot\n- Bug: Sometimes the paintbrush would stop responding until I reloaded the browser window\n\nGreat job again!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":793913,"author_name":"adele.illustration","author_uid":"adele-illustration","epoch":1649185426,"text":"I LOVE the concept and graphics of this game - I didnt get really far because for me the camera view zooming in and out was a bit confusing when you pause the world - am I not supposed to pause?

The first play through I was confused and seemingly won without doing much of anything. But the second time... once I understood the mechanics. I found I could run pretty much forever by drawing extremely squiggly lines at the start of my platform then stretching out a flat area.

The graphics and the music are cool and very fitting and I loved the evolving environment. Once I didn't have any more \"main road\" I knew I had to stay on my toes to stay alive as long as I could.
