About This Game

There are several dots on the screen.

“Manipulate” them to match the shape of the star drawn on the screen.

That’s all there is to KATA-DRAW.

However, you don’t move the dots directly.

In this game, you use two “forces”—attraction and repulsion—

to manipulate the dots indirectly.

Use gravitational force to pull the dots together, repulsive force to spread them apart, and the average force to adjust their spacing.

Which force to apply where, and how much—that’s where the art of balance comes in.

Since the effects of the forces ripple out across all the dots, adjusting one spot causes another to shift.

The completion rate creeps up, then stalls, so you try applying more force.

Before you know it, you’ll find yourself completely absorbed in chasing that “just a little more.”

Each stage features a target shape and a “completion rate.”

Use forces to raise the completion rate; reach 100% to clear the stage.

Starting with triangles, then squares, hexagons, circles, stars, and a cat’s face…

As you progress through the stages, the number of dots increases and the shapes become more complex.
