graFighters

Ever dreamed of seeing your drawings come to life in a fierce battle of wills? Get ready for graFighters, an online fighting game that allows users to create their own avatars by uploading an image of hand-drawn characters directly from a laptop or mobile device. Sign up to be a beta-tester (or simply send in a drawing) and watch as your sketches transform into animated warriors, climbing the ranks as they challenge the drawings of others. "The game is not played with traditional buttons or combinations but rather with the strategic design and creation of the drawing itself," note founders Dave Chenell and Erik Cleckner, recent graduates of Syracuse University. The result? Nothing short of "a new genre of creative gameplay."
