VS Doodle Monsters

ゲーム作っちゃうch

VS らくがきモンスター is a doodle monster-raising battle game where sketches you draw with your finger come to life as monsters and fight against creations drawn by other players.

The game automatically analyzes the shapes you draw on the canvas, animating body parts—arms, legs, wings, tails, tentacles, beaks, and horns—as if each had a mind of its own. Draw arms and your monster throws a flurry of punches; draw wings and it whips up gusts of wind; draw a tail and it spins around for a tail strike. Depending on the parts you draw, your monster learns two to four moves and takes turns unleashing them in combat.

What's more, the silhouette you sketch determines your monster's classification across 15 "Shape Types" and its move combinations, while the colors you mix and match assign it one of 24 elemental attributes—such as Fire, Water, Poison, Ice, Light, or Cosmos. Time your taps during battle to land devastating special moves, claim your opponent's ink colors upon victory, and draw new additions onto your monster to push it toward its next evolution. Other players will even challenge your monster while you have the app closed, making it a joy to watch your one-of-a-kind partner grow anytime.

Draw Arms to Punch, Draw a Tail to Spin-Attack! 15 Shape Types and 24 Attributes Driven by Form and Color

The biggest surprise in this game is that the lines you draw on the canvas aren't treated as a static picture—they are read in real time as your monster's skeleton and combat abilities.

As you sketch on the drawing screen, the game recognizes the following body parts based on their shapes:

• Arms: Unleash a rapid flurry of punches
• Legs: Attack with kicks and heavy stomps
• Wings: Flap to whip up gusts of wind
• Tail: Spin around to strike with the tail
• Tentacles, Beaks, and Horns: Fight using movements unique to each part

Even while you are still drawing, the bottom of the screen updates in real time to show the currently recognized shape and the moves your monster will learn. It feels like a fun experiment: "Adding arms here taught it a punch!" or "Stretching out the tail changed its move!" Depending on the overall silhouette, your monster is categorized into one of 15 Shape Types, which also completely changes its automatically generated name.

Just as important is the ink color you use. The combination of colors you draw with determines your monster's elemental attribute out of 24 total types, including Fire, Water, Poison, Ice, Light, and Cosmos. Even for the same body part, changing the attribute transforms both the move's name and its visual effects—turning attacks into moves like "Aqua Punch," "Magma Stomp," or "Leaf Bind." With shapes and colors working together, the possibilities for unique monsters are virtually endless.

Tap in Time for Special Moves! Thrilling Battles Where Doodles Spring into Action

Once your monster is finished and you check its stats (HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed) and learned moves on the "Born!" screen, it's time to face off against monsters drawn by other players.

As soon as the battle starts, the doodle that was sitting still a moment ago comes alive—flailing its limbs as it lunges forward or spinning through the air. Basic attacks play out automatically as your monster cycles through the two to four moves it has learned, but the real turning point of any match is the "Special Move!" moment.

When a special move triggers, rings appear on the screen, prompting a timed action: "Tap right when the rings overlap!"

• "Aqua Punch": Tap three times in a row to drive your fists home
• "Magma Stomp": Leap high into the air and tap right at the moment of impact
• "Leaf Bind": Tap twice to constrict and squeeze your opponent

Each move has its own tap count and rhythm, and nailing the timing rewards you with a "PERFECT!" for massive damage. Conversely, when your opponent unleashes a special move, tapping right as the attack lands lets you guard against it. It strikes a satisfying balance between laid-back auto-battling and clutch, fingertip action when it matters most.

Win Battles to Claim Your Opponent's Ink! Evolve Your Monster's Look and Name Every Time You Add to It

When you win a battle, you earn ink in the colors your opponent used. This ink is the fuel that makes your monster stronger and even more fun to customize.

By taking your newly earned ink back to the drawing screen to sketch on new parts—or using the eraser to wipe away sections and redraw them—and pressing "Done!", your monster evolves.

For example, if you start with a blue, Water-attribute monster and use different ink colors won in battle to add wings or patterns, an evolution sequence plays out, giving your monster a brand-new name while powering up its attribute, stats, and moveset. Before long, you'll find yourself hooked on the loop of victory and evolution: "I want that ink color next, so let's battle that opponent!" or "Let's mix thin and thick lines to draw even fiercer-looking horns!"

Best of all, other players will challenge your monster even while you have the app closed. The next time you open the game, you'll be greeted with a full report showing how many battles took place while you were away, your win-loss record, and how much ink your monster collected in the meantime. Having your own doodle fight other players' creations and earn ink for you while you're offline is a delightful touch unique to this game.
