About

Drawstroke

Features
Read full description

DrawStroke is a minimal arcade game about drawing lines. The ball falls. You draw a line with your finger. The line bounces the ball upward and disappears after impact. Better timing and better line shape keep the ball alive longer. Play quick handcrafted levels or chase a record in endless mode. Draw anywhere on the field, switch between light and dark themes, and pause the game with one tap. Features: - one simple gesture: draw a line and release; - 60 short levels; - endless mode for high scores; - light and dark themes; - soft pencil-drawn visual style; - quick sessions without clutter. Stroke takes seconds to understand, but a perfect bounce makes you want one more try.
