I second that 5/5 for innovation! Fun too. Could very well be a mobile game.

Very different great game, I like the review after the levels with the flying cam views. Thanks.

Controls were interesting. Fun game overall.

One of the best entries i've seen by far. So simple but so fun. Would be even better with a good song. I really really wish there was an option to pause gameplay and zoom out in free play to look at what you're drawing. I finished it and wanted more but free play isnt as satisfying without seeing the final drawing. Fantastic job man!

Really cool concept. You've proven how with some polish you can make a simple game feel really good.

Good entry, it fits the theme and I'm amazed that you could do it with the technologies that you used! Also, the final drawing was a nice touch.

Moving targets would add some depth (only played free drawing and finished the Christmas tree) :P

Fun game! And no bugs :D

Super cool! Loved playing this, got my brother on it too and he said how fun it was to fly around. Great job!

TriSquare14 Dec 2016, 22:05

This is a very tight game. It focuses on one concept and delivers it well. Nice job

Very satisfying when you get a nice clean line of the targets :) Not so much when you miss one! I would maybe like variable speed control instead of just pause/go states? But it's a really cool concept and well executed.

Really neat concept and execution of it. I feel like there's more potential for this, be it gameplay or sandbox. It's just fun to draw!

At first drawing the cone seemed tedious and repetetive but when the camera panned out it was so worth it, it put a smile on my face.

Very meditative experience! Would be cool to also have models with some straight lines and a speed boost to go with them :)

I felt like a World War I pilot :D

Awesome controls. I feel it needs just a bit more visual polish, but it's a solid entry nonetheless.

Loved it ! I sucked, but for once, being bad makes good results (you should have seen my trajectories). Great game, congrats!

jotson15 Dec 2016, 18:26

Fun idea. I liked that you added the free draw mode.

Nice concept. The final view of the drawing is a great idea.

I enjoyed a lot!

Tater_hater16 Dec 2016, 00:32

Loved it! enjoyed playing it on the Moosen stream

afinkyu_Pheaky16 Dec 2016, 03:39

Super original idea, and its pretty fun to just glide around drawing stuff. I like it.

mmason16 Dec 2016, 04:03

Great game, this is basically 3D connect the dots and it's great!

Dynamic Panic Studios16 Dec 2016, 17:52

This is such a cool idea. Had fun trying to figure out what I was drawing before it was finished. Great work!

W.GASABF17 Dec 2016, 14:25

Fun games ! :)

mirta00019 Dec 2016, 04:16

also voting high on innovation! The controls are a bit slipery and slidy, but I did like the idea :)

Dejvo20 Dec 2016, 16:54

Jupiter_Hadley30 Dec 2016, 19:57

Really lovely game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/iiDZ_Pg3Qr4

Man, this feels great! Being able to see the path you've taken, and the way it draws stuff.. That's really really cool. Very original stuff to; all the congrats!
