I had lots of fun playing this! I thought it would be funny to summon whatever shape I actually drew, because some of my drawings were AWFUL and would have been fun to see those abominations come to life. Cute idea. One of my favourite aspects were the leaves that floated down every so often, it was a nice touch to the atmosphere and calmed me down a little against the racing clock. :)

A very cute game with polished 3d art!
I like the idea of "draw to summon"~

Nice idea! I would have been greate to have a couple more creatures. I did the unicorn at the first try and the game ended very quick.
Good entry though! congrats!

Very fun! Showed me how bad my drawing skills are haha, it took me many attempts to actually summon the unicorn.

Loved the concept of drawing to summon. It would be fun to summon other animals or push the concept a little bit. Great work !

Cool idea with nice graphics and all. The 3D effects were cool and the UI was simple yet effective. The game itself was brutal though. I'll never get my unicorn! :angry: Very cool game :heart:

A nice tracing mechanic, I drew the unicorn twice, clock-wise and anti-clockwise, and they both scored a 96. I felt my second attempt was worse than the first attempt, so I was surprised they had the same value.

With just the unicorn there, it's indeed a mini-mini game. If there had been more shapes, I'd have tried a little while longer.

Nice 3D art, with a pleasant color palette. The music was a merry vibe.

Fun minigame! I spawned a whole bunch of horses trying to get a unicorn as fast as possible.

so cute! At first I was nice and relaxed, trying to get it as accurate as possible, and then I noticed the timer and I had to zoom around to get the rest in on time! The summoning animation is cool too, I like all the effects, great job ^^

Nice little game. The time constraint in combination with a mouse makes it stressful, but satisfying once you get the unicorn, so it's a nice tradeoff.

I also thought of the same concept as @mythrilminestein, where it would be awesome if the shape you drew would be translated into a 3D image, because boy those would be some abominations on my end!

I did it!! This was fun, carefully moving my mouse through thin hallways is giving me flashbacks to the maze game... But here I got a beautiful unicorn instead. Fun simple but challenging little game!

This was so fun! I would absolutely play other levels in this game. I do kinda wish there was more to mess with, but I still really loved it.

Yeah that's just kinda really solid. Did you do something do disable drawing tablets? I pulled mine out ready to draw a unicorn and it didn't work, it took me like three tries to get not-a-horse.

Fun and nice atmosphere hides a pretty tough challenge! My mouse was a bit too sensitive so maybe a speed setting could be a useful addition. I would definitely summon more creatures!

It was harder than it looked like! I kept getting 94 points, but eventually managed to get the unicorn. Cute game, wish there were more creatures to draw or maybe more variations of "failed" creatures depending on how badly you messed up haha.

Nice game :) I liked the use of drawing to summon 3d creature.. Pretty hard though. I did several attempts but never managed to summon the unicorn :sweat_smile: . It would have been fun to summon a completely other creature/object when you totally mess up the drawing :)

@nardandas Yea I'm actually not sure about that. If the tablet and pen moves the cursor, it should have worked but I haven't tried out enough devices. Thanks for trying it out though.

I like the concept but my pulse won't let me summon unicorns, it's a good game. Good job!

Nice! Cute little game, reminds me of something from Mario Party! I'm on a trackpad and my best score was 97.

Graphics and effects are really well done, and I love the choice of music.

I'd love it if when you drew something really badly it summoned something truly horrific and monstrous.

Fun concept, although I have a horse like mouse coordination so it took me a bit to draw, but it was worth it. Nice work !

A simple and fun little jam game. Very well made, and I overall liked it. Well done.
