Awesome game, this game is relaxing, fun, and addicting. Very sleek and smooth, and the sound track is great!

Like others said, a way to quit a game would be nice, but not 100% needed

This is great, but my only criticism is there should be way more words to choose from, a lot of the time there were repeats

This game was surprisingly addicting! Although, there are a few things, in my opinion, that would make it better.

- The first is an option to end a game (if there is one, then I apologize, but I couldn't find one). Without this option the list will just continue to expand and then eventually become tedious to find the game you want to play.

-The second would be more words. I'm sure you will update the game to increase the amount of words it randomly generates for you in the future, but for now it just seems like the list is lacking.

Pretty fun game though! I liked how it tied in well with the Newgrounds theme and I look forward to playing it more in the future!

There is no way to end a game currently. I do have a feature in the works to ignore games, but from a programming standpoint it is not ideal (since the game actually still exists). Either way, I hope to release this by the weekend.

More words coming too!

Very addicting, came back to it to play with several players. Some advice on improvements.. the Dot you adjust for scaling, maybe have it black on white, or another color, hard to see dot, even with the white drop shadow. A fill tool would be awesome. More words to choose from, many were repeats, I could easy guess what the drawings were going to be, after about 10-15min of play. Great job, super fun.

nice work. plays really well, and the connection is smooth. Though you will probably need a player cap, as I went from 5 to 7 pages of players while i was playing. Now its saying loading 1 of 2 pages, but it never loads.

Yeah, a few people (including myself) have this issue... I believe it's something with the API D:
