Draw a stick figure with crayons on a notebook page. Put a few dots on it so it knows where its hands and feet are. It stands up, waves, gets a name and three skills, and walks into a shared notebook world where everyone's drawings roam and fight.
The figure in the world is your actual lines, moved by a small skeleton. No machine repaints it. A reading looks at the drawing once: it names it, writes its one-line bio, gives it a voice, and invents three skills and a way of moving that fit what it sees. That is the only automated judgement in the whole thing.
More crayon means more HP. A tall thin figure is fast. A wide one hits hard. More colours means more energy for skills. Redraw to min-max if you like; that is the point.
Bump another doodle outside a town and both of you can agree to a duel: forty-five seconds, three skills each, a dodge, a dash and a jump. Send someone a challenge link and they draw a fighter and take on yours. Scribble monsters roam the wild, and every twenty minutes or so The Big Scribble turns up near a town and needs a crowd. Your doodle keeps wandering while you are away and tells you what happened when you come back.
Every doodle gets three new quests each day, a streak for playing on days in a row, a sticker album of the scribbles it has beaten, and costumes for reaching levels. All of it is earned by playing. Nothing in the game is sold.
Drawings that are sexual, hateful or harassing stay private and are reviewed. There is a Report button on every doodle page. Everything else, including ugly, is welcome. Chat is short and filtered; never share where you live or your phone number.
Your strokes and your doodle's record. There are no accounts yet, so keep the browser you drew in. To make the game better we count what happens in it: pages opened, doodles made, quests finished, errors. Your browser gets a random id for that, with no name, email or address attached. We use no ad trackers and no outside analytics. With Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control turned on, the id is forgotten when you close the tab.
