Great fun! Couldn't completely figure out how the connecting points worked, but here's my score. Now lets see who can obliterate it lol

Fun gameplay loop, gets pretty intense.

Love the music, it slaps

The pencil attack (single point) is a little powerful for how easy it is to use, though it's fun to force yourself to use the other things.

Nice work :)

Max score 159 ;). Nice little game. I like the drawing idea for attacking creatures. In the beginning I wanted to move with the guy, but he didn't listen to me :D.

Good job, the music fits nicely with the game. What I was a little bit missing is some VFX for taking damage. In the middle of fighting, I initially didn't even realize I had taken 3 hits already.

The single point attack is where it's at, the others aren't as useful until late game. A lot of fun, and great music.

There's an easter egg if you die early. Like, at an tiny bit after 3 seconds...
Good luck! :)

Got to 237!

Great concept and presentation. Kinda wish the creatures were bigger just because I like the designs.

A fun game. I didn't immediately understand the mechanics of the game, but I liked it.

I like the idea of different attacks with the same tool. I think the difficulty capped too early but it was pretty fun! (Also the music was a banger)

Pretty fun! I think the explosion is pretty over-powered compared to the other attacks, but still super fun!

My score is 114 and the game is really satisfying! the idea is cool as well, and it's enjoyable to see the enemy gets killed with the drawing line!

Nice concept! Poor Squeeb didn't survive long with me, I took it around 120 but as soon as you get overwhelmed it's all over ^^

The gameplay is nice, having multiple ways of attacking, the graphics are really simple but terrific! And the music fits nicely, with the additional Squeeb screams completing it perfectly.

A very good entry, congrats!

Took me a little time to figure out how the mechanics work, but this is brilliant once you get it! The graphics are fantastic too! This is not far off a polished game ready for release in my opinion. There are a few balancing issues but overall a solid entry.

I agree with some of the other comments on here, It took a second to get the hang of how combat works. I think a simple tutorial screen showing what the different attack symbols are would have helped, but overall this is a really fun idea with some really cool animations.

Loved the art and animations for the tiny monsters and how each has its own little personality! It gets a bit intense but it´s really fun to play. The music, the sound effects and general atmosphere are very well combined, it takes me back to primary school haha. Great little game!

Great core loop and cool music. Couldn't figure out I was damaging myself for a while. I killed myself twice :D Creative and fun game anyways!
