Neverending Neck by flyingbear

[raw]

made by flyingbear for Ludum Dare 50 (COMPO)

What have I done?

I kept saying "This game is so stupid!" as I was making this.

If you've ever wanted to play as an aspiring artist who draws pictures with an ever-extending neck, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE!

A few tips if you're having trouble:

-Drawing outside the lines counts negative. Stay inside the color!

-That said, it doesn't start counting until you first touch the drawing, so use that to stage your best entry point

Made in GameMaker along with Photoshop, sfxr, and Audacity

Just finished a few rounds of playing this!

First off, I really enjoyed the little animation detail with the shoulder shrugging when you move right/left.

The concept is really basic - in terms of gameplay, that is. I think something I would improve about it is maybe add some kind of powerup, or some other kind of mechanic, other than just left/right. Its just not a lot in terms of what you can do.

The music isn't bad at all, but it gets repetitive really fast.

That being said, the cover photo really grabbed my attention. Your concept is extremely funny, ngl. Made me laugh out loud.

I love the attention to detail in this game! The shoulder shrugs and creasing when you bend the neck far enough are really nice touches! Also love the expressions! And this game is really well balanced. It was challenging, but I kept coming back for more. keep it up!
