An interesting concept executed poorly. Maybe the game's content would have fared better as a visual novel or an adventure game. I appreciate what the creators were hoping to depict, however having it be this extremely slow-paced platformer kills a lot of the immersion and momentum to bother getting into it.

I enjoyed this game. It's short but I think if it was too long it would start to wear out its welcome. The art is great and it was cool playing a game about the creative process.

A neat little game with a fun premise. I'd love to see a fully fleshed out version that really explored the design space. Really wish there was a tutorial or something, just a bit more guidance, and a less awkward/unintuitive control scheme (especially when playing with an xbox controller). Little more than what I might have been inclined to spend on a game of this length, but I think I got the same amount of enjoyment out of it as an equivalent fast food purchase. Make of that what you will. Tentative recommendation.

amazing premise with a lacking implementation; very short but worthwhile, definitely. the adventure of an unfinished artwork - you are not intended to be a stick figure. while you chase down the creator-pencil, you will come across three seperate abilities for your head, body and feet, each. you can switch between these on the fly (time pauses when you do) to surmount the challenges posed in navigating. from the title, it can be gleaned the frustration everyone feels while in the process of trying to create something. that is effectively portrayed while wandering the desolate white space of the notebook (page(s)) - a couple times, you seemingly catch the pencil off-guard, scribbling with appropriate, hurt words emanating from it. sadly, there was really only one level that showcases art proper (beyond stick figures)(the rest of the game being blinding white with paper ramps, crumpled pages, etc.), but that was no doubt intended, just to further drive home the point. practically, for $5, i couldn't recommend it for the gameplay; this is one of those instances: "pay to support the developer, knowing that the product you're getting probably won't necessarily satiate." i do recomme…

This game is not what I expected and reminds me why I would never want to work as an artist. The game was short but incredibly enjoyable. For its current price it is definetly worth a look.
