#22It's giving Qix, a little bit, although the critter's different and the lines are way more freeform.
Bug, I think: the critter definitely can cross some of the paint lines, which was a little unexpected. It slows down but then it's on the other side of it.

#23I drew a circle around the critter and it was trapped inside it, I didn't win? Did it in 4 strokes

Apparently you have to subdivide the areas so finely that they don't have enough room to exist.

#25Fun game.
The collision detection seems to have the same problem as the yin yang game that was posted a while ago: The critters sometimes cross the lines. I wonder if the root cause is similar, having to do with this being a browser game?
Nevertheless, fun little game

JezzBall was also pretty similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JezzBall Jezzball was a TI calculator classic.
Yes, this game is quite similar to JezzBall, or to a more modern example, Just Fillin’, which used to be available on the iPhone. I remember playing JezzBall back in the day on a floppy disk, and Just Fillin’ during the early days of the iPod Touch. It’s no longer available, but when I mentioned it, my 11-year-old son tried to recreate it, and honestly, I think he did a pretty great job.
Just Fillin’ iPhone gameplay can be seen on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqvnk05iTbs
