This charming 2D platformer employs a simple hero and enemies as basic(and as frustrating) as bouncing white balls to incredible effect--the result is a top-rated action game.
You control a snazzy little girl in a beret and red necktie around the screen by right-clicking an area or using the W, A, S, and D keys. Left clicking draws a chalk line, which is your only weapon, aside from the other elements in the game.
You can only draw one line (or scribble) at a time, and its length is limited by a power meter at the top of the screen. Your enemies are moving objects, ships that shoot bullets, and other nasty obstacles like streams of bouncing balls. Hint: use your line as a shield often.
What makes the game excel is the imagination and commitment to intelligent gameplay involved in creating unique bosses for each level. No enemy can be fought the same way. Be careful: Even when you think a boss is dead, he might have yet one more trick to kill you. Graphics could be tightened, the full-screen mode improved, and ratings system seems a bit harsh, too--this reviewer did no better than a "C" on any level. For sheer creativity, fun, and addictiveness, however, this independent platformer certainly earns its top rating.
