Following on from Chalk, an excellent shooter where you draw your enemies to death, comes this: a game where you draw your way to success. The short levels come with terrain included. These are walls, see-saws, islands, etc. and your task is to draw the connecting shapes in between which will help a ball roll toward a star and victory.
The word which can best describe this is original. Also, stunning, simple and magnificent would fit the bill and all the praise heaped on it can not do the game justice. You simply need to play this. The interaction of the things you draw with the provided landscape is fascinating.
To draw, all you need is the mouse and off you go to draw a rectangle you dont need to loop around, just draw the long and short side and it does the rest. Drawing flat accessories is possible, though not frequently useful and the variety of the levels are, well, varied. Some are ponderously difficult while some are endlessly frustrating but all are completeable.
Clocking in at a relatively short time frame a handful of minutes will have you complete the game what it provides is something unseen before. Create your own levels is the point of the game, not an accessory. Draw anything you want to get to those stars and if you mess up, a clean slate is only a spacebar away. The promise of a sequel is just around the corner so enjoy this, a taste of things to come, a fresh idea in a new and original way.
