Drawtopia, a Windows Phone puzzle game where you draw the solution
Drawtopia is a Windows Phone puzzle game where you draw the solution. It is a physics based game where you have to draw a path for balls to travel from point A to point B.
Drawtopia has forty levels of play with a nasty variety of traps and mechanics that you have to avoid or use on your behalf. Drawtopia is a fun game that will not only challenge your powers of deduction but also you drawing skills.
The forty levels of play in Drawtopia are scattered about five rooms. The first few levels of the first room, the Red Room, are more or less tutorial levels. Even after you complete the first few levels, the game will toss up hints and tips throughout the game. Again, the object is to create a pathway to guide your ball from the starting point to the exit point or Point A to Point B if you prefer.
Sounds simple enough? Right, but here's the catch. Along the way you have shimmering stars that you'll need to collect for bonus points, maneuver around obstacles and avoid spikey dangers. There are pin wheels that will knock your ball about and spikes that... well... that will just ruin your day.
You draw your lines by tapping and dragging your finger across the screen. These lines will create paths to guide your ball to collect the stars, avoid the dangers and obstacles and eventually make it to the exit which will advance you to the next level. The spinning wheels that you encounter will help by pushing your ball along (good for when you have to draw uphill paths) but can also bounce it backwards off the track.
Another aspect of Drawtopia's challenge is that you have limited ink to draw your platforms/path/tracks. At the top of the screen is the your ink supply meter. As you draw, that meter slowly depletes.
Once you have everything drawn up just tap the play button at the bottom left of the screen to release your ball. If you over draw your lines, send your ball off the screen into the dark abyss or just generally screw up there's a reset button next to the play button.
