Myopic Tracer

Inspired by connect the dots... but with a twist! You are not given the entire view of the paper. Instead, your viewport is restricted to a small area of the paper, and you have to figure out where the next dot is, in order to join them together to form a final picture.

The distance to the next dot is given as a basic hint. Some dots provide you with a random powerup that gives you additional hints to make it easier to join future dots together.

Controls:

• [W][A][S][D]: Move
• [Space]: Use Powerup

Powerups that you may encounter from time to time:

• Zoom out your camera to get a better view of the paper, so that you can see more dots to join.
• Dots are numbered so that you know the order to join the dots together.
• A trail points you towards the correct direction of the next dot to join.

We encourage you to share your final drawn picture with the rest of the community by downloading it, and posting it in the comments section!

Note: If you try to download more than one art piece, some browsers like Chrome may block additional downloads. You may need to temporarily disable the block in order to get the subsequent art pieces.

Submitted for the GMTK Game Jam 2021, with theme Joined Together. The objective of the game is to "join the dots together" to create an image.
