A downloadable Stroke Bound for Windows

PROTOTYPE / WORK IN PROGRESS

Stroked Vertical is an experimental vertical platformer where the player

does NOT press a jump button.

Instead:

-The character auto-bounces

 -You draw strokes in real-time

-Stroke angle controls direction

-Bad strokes = panic = death 

This build focuses ONLY on:

-Core bounce physics

- Stroke drawing & interaction

-Survival loop

 -Expect bugs, rough edges, and balance issues.

That’s intentional at this stage.

 I’m looking for feedback on:

1. Is the core mechanic fun?

 2. Does drawing feel intuitive?

3. Is the difficulty fair or frustrating?

Controls:

– Hold mouse button to draw strokes

– Character auto-jumps

– No tutorial yet

Thanks for playing!
