If you like drawing games, this one will rock your world! ;-) Draw a line slowly, and the ball will follow that line-path slowly. If you draw a line faster, the ball will follow that line faster. The way you draw the ball will determine the speed of the ball and its direction. It's very intuitive and addicting drawing game. Each level has its unique challenges and as you reach higher levels, the difficulty also increases. It is fun, casual and puzzle-like drawing game! You can draw continuously a line and when you release, the ball will follow that drawing path. So you have the freedom to draw whatever you want, but it has to be in a way to destroy all objects in the levels. Draw to destroy is your main objective. The ball should not touch any red barriers. So do not draw over a red lines or red barriers, because the ball will follow that path and crash into the red obstacles.
