A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

King Scribble is a 2D puzzle platformer game where you draw the platforms! Play as the eponymous King Scribble, the benevolent, beloved ruler of the Doodle Kingdom. One tragic day, a twister whisks you away, and now you must traverse tricky terrain through the power of drawing in order to make it back to your loyal subjects. The twist: the more platforms you draw out, the more you draw *from* your doodly body in the process! Along the way, you’ll find extra supplies (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!

Originally developed in Unity 2022.3.39f1 as a UMBC Capstone Games Group Project (Spring 2025).
