Skater Sketcher by JohnBroadley

[raw]
made by JohnBroadley for LD26 (COMPO)
CONTROLS

MOVEMENT:
W - Up
A - Left
S - Down
D - Right

Well since this is my first Ludum Dare, I was relieved to find the theme to be something that was easily achievable, so I went ahead and made 'Skater Sketcher', the idea being that the player could be minimalistic, and do what minimalistic people do best, procrastinate. The game is surprisingly good for time killing, and I've wasted a good few hours of the competition already by drawing pictures, or rather attempting to draw something.

If anyone manages to draw something cool, do send me a screenshot, you can send them to me at - JohnBroadley93@gmail.com

Really liked it! Glad you got it all working in the end. Very soothing, lovely graphics and general aesthetic. You nailed the theme too, I think. Well done!

It's fun and smooth, I like it !
(but it could really be fun if you could support AZERTY keyboard also, because that's really hard to draw something with ZQSD :) )

Yep, I successfully procrastinated on that one.
Nice and simple, fits the theme well :)

Thanks, and yeah, unfortunately I only ended up spending about 4-5 hours on this game, and thus there isn't a lot to it at the moment! Will hopefully add to it once I've finished development on my current project, http://www.johnbroadley.com/development

Cute! One random idea: Give the user a random noun to draw, display an online gallery of the attempts.
