I decided to post a game today to give Wizzard a bit more of a break. This guy have some really great games that I'll post more from later. Pencil & Paper is similar to lemmings combined with a drawing game. Once in Space is a puzzle platformer set in space.

Pencil & Paper
Pencil & Paper is a puzzle game, where you must lead a brainless sketchman to the other side of the level. He must also collect all stars in a level before he can pass to the next level. The thing that makes Pencil & Paper playable is the twist: you can draw lines with your mouse, and the sketchman can walk on them! It becomes a nice puzzle to find out what's the fastest way through the levels. The game also has a hard mode for those who think the game isn't hard enough for them. The game has 8 levels in total.
This is a fun little game where you can draw bridges, stairs, and walls, to lead the guy across the level and collect all the stars. It's fun to replay levels and try collecting stars in a different order and find alternative solutions. Hard mode just adds extra stars that need to be collected.
There are two versions of this game, a normal version and a deluxe version created for the 20-event competition. They both have different levels but the deluxe version seems to have an annoying "getting stuck" bug where the guy randomly gets stuck on a drawing and you have to restart the level. But I didn't really notice this bug in the normal version.

Once in Space
Once in Space is a puzzle platformer. Your objective is to collect all stars in a level and then reach the goal flag. Sounds easy? There's a gravity-based twist that will make it harder! This game was made kinda like a sequel for Pencil & Paper.
Once in Space has a neat twist where you can change gravity by holding ctrl when walking on a corner with red pixels. In each level, you have to collect stars and reach the goal flag. But you can only collect stars when the gravity is in the correct direction indicated on the arrow. You have three lives to complete each level before any collected stars reset. The hard mode that adds extra hazards to each level. Also, there is a secret hidden in the first level...
