Boil — Scribble that breathes

Scribble that breathes.

Boil is a tiny web drawing toy from Deer Rock Studios. Pick up a pencil, crayon, dots, or chalk — your lines gently boil at ~12fps, like classic hand-drawn animation wobble. Messy on purpose. Alive on purpose.

Papers, onion-skin Trace, live mirror, and one-click GIF export (crop Full / 1:1 / 16:9 / 4:5 — real pixels, no stretch). Play free in the browser above.

How to get Pro ($2) — do this exactly

① ▶️ Play free Use the big Run game button. That is the demo — it is not a file download.

② 💳 Pay $2 In Boil click Buy Pro → Pay $2 on itch, or buy the Pro file on this page. Completes checkout for $2.

③ 📥 Download page After paying, itch opens Download with the Pro instructions file. Look at the address bar: …/boil/download/<strong>YOUR_KEY</strong>

④ 🔑 Save Pro key Boil shows BOIL-XXXX-… — copy it. Use that key on a 2nd device (max 2).

Pricing — please read (friendly heads-up)

Play is free forever. Boil Pro is a flat $2 USD one-time unlock (clean GIF, My paper, Wave / Ribbon / Grass / Glitter · up to 2 devices).

itch sometimes shows a tip / “name your price” field on the page. A tip of $1 (or any amount under $2) is lovely support — thank you — but it does not unlock Pro, and we can’t “top up” $1 later to make $2. To unlock Pro, complete the Pro · $2 checkout for the full amount in one go.

If you already tipped less than $2 and still want Pro, just buy the $2 Pro file when you’re ready — no hard feelings, and thanks for supporting the toy either way 💛

Important

• If Download says “Nothing is available”, you opened Download without the $2 Pro purchase. Free Play never appears there.
• After unlock you get a Pro key like BOIL-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX — save it. It works on up to 2 devices (e.g. laptop + phone).
• On a second device, paste the Pro key (not the itch link). A 3rd device is blocked.
• Free Play / $0 claim / tips under $2 do not unlock Pro.
• Lost your key / need a reset? DM us with your itch receipt.
