Fun to see more games about drawing loops and seeing how different they feel. It was satisfying trying to draw different loop shapes fast.

My one minor complaint was that it was a little annoying when I’d draw a line near the border and take damage from a new enemy spawning. Maybe a little indicator a little before new enemies enter would help?

I was thinking about adding an enemy indicator that but ran out of time. That would probably be the first thing I work on if I ever do a post-jam update.

Cool game! I made something similar, but I like the added complexity from the enemies harming you if they touch the line.

super creative concept, i was confused at first how i was taking damage while drawing circles but after understanding that they cant touch the circle before its done drawing that added a whole nother layer!

Easy to understand, hard to master in a nutshell
The fact that it rewards you much more points for each additional ball you can get  at once means, that even if you've played a couple times the "slow" start is no longer slow. This is actually the best time for most risky plays. And the mechanic of drawing around the enemies is something I’ve never seen before.

Very cool game.

I did also beat your high score from screenshots, ha!

Nice concept! It’s super simple to understand simply by looking at the screenshots. Could get a bit repetitive after some time but it’s a nice arcade game, I also like the music, good job!

Great job! Simple and fast-paced with lots of re-play value. It is surprising hard to circle the enemies without letting them touch the line. Excellent execution on the theme.
