Article: [senit] Crayon Physics - a drawing game

Hi Sean
Its pretty good actually - just a dash and it will turn itself into a
small rectangle, a half closed circle stays as a half closed circle (and
drops correctly). All marks on the screen are recorded and it does
something with them at least (you can sometimes see things fall into half
open circles which is fun).  I note though that the developer recognises
the physics are a bit off on shapes that aren't quite circles or boxes -
but this is to be fixed in the full version.. I can't tell its a huge
problem
(by the way an example on how to complete the levels can be seen at
