Nice take on a classic old game (played the paper version thousands of times with my kids!) - well done!

AWESOME!
I love the real recording of you using the dip and pen.
And the game itself took me back to my school time.

Thanks for making this game. :)

I love this!

Really refreshing look, and makes me think I should build my visual style from the ground up every time I start anew.

I hadn't played the (analog version of this) game before, so it took me a few times to figure out what was going on.

Well executed on a fun idea. Music is.. well improvised and has it's errors here and there but it kinda works in this alternative environment. I like it!

Lovely 'art', challenging game. Computer plays more or less perfectly... Still, well done!

The music is very nice and relaxing. I love the fact that the "graphics" plays into the theme. Very interesting take on the game. Well done!

This is absolutely wonderful, thank you!
skreeb30 Aug 2016, 04:50
I can't imagine starting a game jam and thinking "Let me get out the video camera." And the gameplay is a classic. Awesome entry.

Beautiful and fun implementation of this game! Some guidelines of where the lines can go, i.e. the size of the game board, would be a good addition.

I remember playing this game when I was younger. Very fun. The interactivity with the recording gave it really nice aesthetics. And that music fits perfectly. Good work!

Awesome idea and execution! my only suggestion is that you disable the drawing of lines before all the dots have been drawn.

I remember playing this game on my early 1990s laptop. Much nostalgia evoked. A well-executed, fun game.

What a nice idea! :) The intro video is well-done. The game itself is not very interesting to us, because we did use this ancient technology in our childhoods a lot :P Not much to criticize otherwise, good job! :D
cicanci30 Aug 2016, 15:06
That's so awesome! Simple, fun a very well done!

Love this! Really neat and clever, and the beginning is an excellent touch. Nice job thinking outside the ... box. Haaa ;)
Boberro31 Aug 2016, 17:52
Clean and solid game. Good job. Add a "mute music" option and you can release it on mobile ;)
Kernel Panic1 Sep 2016, 16:46
Fits the theme perfectly!
The images of you drawing the game as it began was a nice twist to the graphics. Very cool. :D
nardelli1 Sep 2016, 23:21
Very good! I liked the real life graphics and the game itself. You can make a two player mode now :)
The music fits the game too.
Congratulations!
AlexLamarche2 Sep 2016, 19:38
Very cool. I was able to start the game and end it before the intro animation was even done.

Other than that nice interpretation on the theme.

Liked the graphics btw!
g_o23 Sep 2016, 08:49
My strategy is always making 3 connected dots and as seperated as possible.
