Doodle KO – piirrä ja taistele

Draw a fighter, anything at all: a stick man, a cat, a chair. It comes alive on the notebook page and fights. Free.

You draw in ballpoint inside a box, with four colours, a rubber and undo, or ask for a random doodle. Then the drawing comes alive: its legs walk, an arm stretches out to punch, it curls up to block, and with no arms it throws its whole body. What it is worth comes from the drawing itself: the bigger it is, the harder it hits and the slower it moves; more ink means more health, wider reaches farther, taller jumps higher.

Fights are best of three rounds in a comic panel drawn on the notebook: punch, kick, jump, block and, when the ink meter is full, the scribble storm. Every hit leaves its mark, a scratched line or a rubbed-out bit, and at a KO the loser gets scribbled out and balled up. Against the computer, at three levels, which picks one of ten fighters we drew or makes one up, or two players on one device.

On a computer you play with the keyboard, on a phone with a stick and buttons. Every sound is made for it, the pen scratching on the paper included. An idea by Alessandro. Your drawing stays on your device.
