About the Game

A not-quite-turn-based battle system

Navigate strategic options while avoiding real-time attacks in a system inspired by Paper Mario and Undertale!

Equippable abilities for your character and your magic pencil

Find Skills, swap them out anytime, and try different combinations!

An expressive moveset

Build up speed, then twirl, dive, and flip to your heart's content!

Control nearby objects

Throw your pencil to switch up the gameplay when you get tired of guiding this bozo around!

Planned features

  • An involved story that spans multiple chapters! Stop the planet-destroying Lord Doomon, learn more about him, and uncover the secrets that lurk at the heart of the galaxy...

  • A new planet to explore in each chapter. Mythical islands, futuristic cities, and more await!

  • Multiple fun characters to follow you around, help you fight, and let you use cool abilities!

A free demo is available, and will expand to include all of Chapter 1 in 2026. The full game is planned to release sometime this decade.

(Note: Steam Achievements don't currently work on Mac. I'm still figuring out why, so apologies in the meantime.)
