Drawing Roundup

December 31st, 2010

It’s the end of the year, so it must be time for the drawing roundup. This month we had 11 entries with a nice assortment of tracing games, physics drawing games, and even a bullet-shooting art game.

Game on:

Shoot-Em-Art, by Troshinsky

Shoot bullets to make art!

Lienzo Fértil, by Fernando Ramallo

Neato elegant indirect drawing game with a number of interacting systems. Strangely enough, the main control involves attracting flies to your cursor.

ARTaSpLoDE!, by David Byers

A fun drawing toy that challenges you to make something before destroying part of it.

Ball Point, by Greg Czerniak

A nice crayon-physics styled game. Draw and erase to get the ball into the cup.

I and U, by MohammadKad

Make your own mazes in MSPaint or Photoshop, then share with friends!

Hidden Eraser, by Roan Contreras

Draw around until you uncover an invisible eraser. I’d love to see this expanded upon (e.g. the eraser could leave trails that invisibly cuts into what you draw).

Treasure Island, by Suvozit

A retro-style pixel exploration game.

Lights Draw!, by Lamine

Create lights and then trace over them with your mouse.

Happy New Year everyone! New theme coming soon.

December DRAWING

December 6th, 2010

Remember when you were a kid and it used to snow and reindeers got on your chimney and your tummy was filled with tiny sparkles and you wore a sweater with an animal sewn on it and you could see your breath in the air like thousands of tiny wishes and you just knew that anything could happen, because this was a special time, and now you’re old and you spend every day pressing F5 on your social website at work and then you go home and stream netflix into your sad old face?

This month, the possibilities are back! The theme for December is DRAWING. You have 7 days out of the month to make a game that somehow incorporates the theme DRAWING. “Good luck!”, say all the reindeer friends.
