acorn & clover is a lovely little game. i ended up drawing on top of an old page in my sketchbook where i had made a background for some other drawing that i never got around to finishing, and it worked pretty well! it kinda looks like it's raining.
i particularly liked your method for tree-drawing, i think it produces some fun and whimsical shapes. reminds me a bit of shel silverstein / the giving tree.
i wish i'd succeeded in conjuring a fairy but my spells didn't quite work ... maybe i'll get to meet them next time.
So I did go in order didn't realize that I should probably read the directions of each section in full because I did not do the branches and their leaves in the right sequence for the first tree, but luckily I was able to expand my forest down the line. I really enjoyed making the clover. At first I was a little daunted by the idea of drawing 50, but they are so fun to try to do in one swipe that it was fun. I look forward to seeing where doodle games go! This was interesting to get to do outside of the computer though.
Thanks so much for checking it out :) Writing the rules in a way that they're fun and not confusing to follow along with is definitely a new skill to learn, but I think there's a lot of potential for beauty there. It reminds me of writing code for computer games, but the artistry in code gets totally hidden from the player.
