i have absolutely no idea how anyone could possibly solve even the first puzzle but this is awesome

This was way deeper than expected! And so satisfying to use. Couldn’t solve anything, but I very much enjoyed the procedural art. Some of the creations in the comments are amazing!
I updated the game so you can press ` (backquote) to access “super mode”, where you can make 1,2,3,4…N pointed stars instead of just 5 and 6. You can also reset the cursor to the top by pressing C. The issue with this mode is that solution checking doesn’t work reliably, but you can draw more stuff.
i think you might have acidentally made one of the funnest drawing programs ive ever used. thanks!

this was made with the new options, so keep that in mind
I think ive just decided this is going to be an art program for me. i almost solved the puzzle, but realized i accidentally drew the first move i made, so i consider myself to have solved it

I don’t really get this one because I can’t do certain pathways on the snowflake, and you can’t go backwards, but I really like the theme!
wow i really enjoyed this! the puzzle was much more intricate than i assumed on the surface; spent a good while deliberating and then a burst of realizations as i worked through a solution. super satisfying to figure out, and i love the inclusion of free-drawing snowflakes, which doubles as a fun doodling tool as well as a puzzle editor! really nice music, too. lovely :D
Here are a couple more of mine:
