About this game
Hunt ghosts and monsters using crayons, stamps, and art
supplies as weapons in a wild-west cat-driven art world!
Southpaw is a clever young cat who grew up on a ranch. All she wants is to be an artist, but duties and responsibilities get in her way.
But most regrettably, she always makes a big mess. Only she can see the ghosts that are hidden around her, and she exposes them with colors from her crayon box. They cry to her for help, and she still does not understand why. Her friends are only concerned about her.
There are plenty of puzzles and games to play throughout, and things to find and collect.
But beware, dangerous and difficult monsters roam around, too. However, Southpaw has a unique way to combat them. Not only does she fight with her claws to smack away potential attacks, but she also launches hairballs that absorb colors to create damaging fire, ice, electricity, and more.
You control the elements and cast spells to be a destructive force with the colors of your choice. Combat is slow at a distance while lobbing and arcing shots for bigger damage, but sometimes you’ll need to be fast and close with aggressive melee. This fits multiple play styles and can change pace. You will need to shoot, move, and attack while scribbling color, placing stamps, and using random art supplies (like glitter and even holiday lights) to fight for your life! It does, indeed, get messy.
Collect supplies, items, upgrades, abilities, weapons, and magic hidden everywhere across the landscape! Earn coins to purchase and upgrade items to defeat challenges. Most attacks from monsters can be blocked with a simple parry claw attack that smacks away enemy projectiles.
All drawing and graffiti persists in the background across all saved games! (local only) So leave your mark on the world!
The demo is a VERTICAL SLICE, so expect placeholder content and less-developed but playable areas. Some areas are fully or nearly complete, and some even have elements of the story implemented.
I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you.

Relax, I got you.Go to the Extras menu,It'll be flashing \choose a park,small with Crayonbox,or large with only Woodbox,click and draw out platforms,then tear it up!Here's a video of it in its early stages as an example; it's done now, so go play it in its full glory. I didn't expect it to turn out so nice, but I am so happy it did, and it's good for players to try.Southpaw Outlaw has a lot of unique creative systems, but this new one brings a lot to the table for those who just want to let loose and go fast.The Merp Ball is my take on the concept of our very beloved genre-specific ability to morph into a ball. Usually, it's the first thing a player might collect. But, observing how the quicker members of the gaming community use such mechanics, I put it last to make traversing wide levels quicker. Crawling is turning into a loaf, so I don't need a ball; I have something smaller. Its conception was an addition to the ground pound, since orange cats in this universe are rocky, Southpaw can not only turn into a weight, but also a boulder. She rolled, but hilariously, her default settings made her bouncy, so I simply had to add that. Holding JUMP makes her bounce like a rubber playground ball. All the while, you can click and hold any crayon function, and she'll draw as she rolls and bounces. Pretty chaotic, but fun nonetheless.There was always the same reaction, and I am sure you have seen it as well. That one-second clip in the current trailer where you notice the cool "Sonic Section". You aren't the only one. The demo is actually pretty slow, and there are a lot of new mechanics to learn in this game. It will be a while until that "Sonic Section" delight pays off. So, I brought it to you early. This is exactly why the Extras menu has been there since the start. This place will collect all the cool mechanics along the way and make areas to experiment with them. This will also be a prime testing area for custom content down the line. As most things are easily unlocked...Read full article on Community Announcements (Rimrook)
