Lewie P just posted a link to this game for £6 in teh bargains thread. I didn't want to derail that thread but it just reminded me to take a picture.

It's not exactly the greatest game, but you can draw your character. Mine is Monkey. And yes, he has a banana gun! (you can draw your weapons and accessories, too).

The worst game in the universe would be improved by letting your draw your own avatar.

Even if 90% of the time it'll be a penis that walks using its testicles as feet.

Just watching him walk around (which is hilarious - I would have taken a little video if I could be bothered setting up youtube) is really quite wonderful. As you say, even though the game is not much cop, I'm enjoying it because monkey is IN the game.

Did it take long to do? I find drawing with the stylus in Pictochat is a bit like attempting to sign my name using a crayon held in my nostril.

I hereby DEMAND that Dimrill recreate his rendering of himself, in this game.

It's not possible to alter the height of your avatar, though, is it?

It's not possible to change the height, no.

Experience it here!

Ask me anything about Drawn to Life!

I drew a giant penis. Obviously.

Then drew Yoda.

Then realised I wasn't enjoying the game and stopped playing it. My wife completed it though, I think.

Your duck appears to have been horribly mangled in a car crash.

The only way of changing height is by giving yourself a small head, I think.

It's easy enough to do, MetalAngel - you can zoom in twice which makes it easy peasy.

I would like to play this, but my touchscreen calibration is so off I would just end up with a pathetic scribble that fired other scribbles, and I'd be sad.

Gears of War 2 could save a fortune if they got the end user to draw and render Marcus and his chums.

I'd like to add myself to the "can't draw" school on this one.
THREAD IDEA!

Monkey puts my half-arsed efforts to shame.

For further shame, the platforms (or were they clouds?) you had to draw became pure receptacles of filth in my hand. Also no drawing talent for me, then.

You can recalibrate your touchscreen in the opening menu.
