Draw to Home - Draw the Line will let you showcase your drawing skills as you solve a specific type of problem. You are an artist who has been presented with a canvas world filled with buildings, items, and people living within it. However, the people have become lost in the canvas and don't know their way home. This is where you can lend your power to draw them a path. You must use lines to lead all the people to their appropriate homes. Your path can be as creative and random as you want, as long as it eventually leads to the front door.

About Draw to Home - Draw the Line

Whenever you're given the chance to draw in a game, it serves as a mechanic to make a specific action happen. In this game, the only actions that occur from your drawing are whether the people end up at home. You're not being asked to create new features for the canvas world; you simply need to draw the paths that're heading homeward. Of course, nothing is stopping you from drawing the path in whatever shapes and patterns you want, but the people will still need to be able to follow it. As long as they can do that, then feel free to make whatever lines you want.

How to Play

Draw to Home - Draw the Line is a 2D puzzle game that challenges players to draw lines using the mouse to help people get home. To draw a line, hold down the Left Mouse Button and move the cursor over the canvas. Release the button to complete the path and watch the people walk along it. The goal is to help each person reach their designated house. If the person doesn't get their house through your path or hits a hazard, you'll have to try again.

The main menu lets you visit the shop, where you can change the appearance of the people and the houses by spending gems. When you're ready to start, you can head to the level select and continue whichever level you're currently on. Each level will show a canvas space with one or multiple houses and a matching number of people. The houses and people will be color-coded, so individuals must go to the house that shares their assigned color. You must draw a line that extends from the person's starting point to their house. There will be objects and hazards that you must draw around as well as gems that the people can collect for you if that's where your path leads them. Once each person reaches their house, you'll complete the level.

Tips and Tricks

This is a slow-paced puzzle game where you can take all the time in the world to decide on your lines. The path between the person and the house can be as long as you like, but you can't have them collide with anything. The gems are usually located in areas that provide a hint as to where the path should lead, but they should be used to make the most of the open space.
