King Scribble
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
About the Game
King Scribble is a 2D puzzle platformer game where you draw the platforms!
The more platforms you draw, the more King Scribble shrinks. Draw too much and he'll pop!
Along the way, you’ll find extra supplies (pencil, pen, eraser, and more!) to help you navigate more challenging obstacles.
Be creative and resourceful as you make it through each level and find your way back home!

I love the interactions in this game. Mind-bending stuff
Thank you so much, Amanuel!
In the first area with skulls and bones, there should probably be a checkpoint halfway through. also once you approach the exit, it zooms in permanently, so if you got there before the big button was pushed you no longer can see anything.
also changing writing tools with the numpad would be a nice option
also sprint toggle. I might just keep leaving comments on this thread.
plus a sound effect for running out of ink, I am never looking in the corner when I'm drawing to se the ink run out.
Awesome idea -- we're missing a lot of sound effects at the moment so this would definitely help. Keep the ideas coming! :D
Great idea! We're planning to rework our settings menu to feature control rebinding and other accessibility features, so this would be a great addition.
Agreed, I can add this!
Definitely agreed, we are planning to add one! It's just been a technical issue to do with saving the current ink height to a checkpoint, but I will be working on this soon :)
7.8/10 Too much meter :)
Fair, fair — we’re working on it :)
