Pen - A Drawing Platformer - Create Your Own Path
Pen - A Drawing Platformer introduces a revolutionary mechanic: draw platforms in real-time using your mouse cursor to create custom paths for your character. This unique blend of creativity and platforming offers endless possibilities.
Core Innovation
Dynamically generated terrain adapts to player creativity in real-time. The Hard Mode is available via a separate project link for those seeking enhanced challenge. Every playthrough becomes unique thanks to player-generated content.
Controls & Navigation
Left/Right arrow keys or A/D keys control horizontal movement. Up arrow or W key handles jumping. The mouse is used for drawing mechanics integrated with traditional platforming controls. Press R key to instantly restart the current level.
Level Design Philosophy
All stages have been meticulously tested and verified completable by the developer and playtesting friends. There are zero impossible jumps or unfair placements. Yellow hazards require careful avoidance and add strategic depth.

Technical Credits

Community Engagement
Players are encouraged to share their completion times in the comments section. Remixing is welcomed with the request to modify substantially. A positive community atmosphere is maintained, with negative comments subject to removal.
Game Design
The drawing mechanic transforms each playthrough into a unique experience. Player-generated platforms enable creative solutions to platforming challenges, striking a balance between predetermined level design and player agency.
