It's really criminal that there isn't a thread for this yet because as soon as I started playing it I couldn't stop smiling. If all this game was about was drawing your own hero then that'd already be cool, but this goes beyond! I drew the "world" that was created during the intro, I drew on the title screen (I added a Canadian Flag to the default drawing... so awesome), and I even drew the weapon my hero used, the platforms he jumps on, and some essential town equipment.
Not to mention that the platforming sections where I get to USE my creations are a simple joy, with highly dense level design that encourages you to explore every nook and jump to every ledge for maximum completion, but at the same time seem simple enough for newbies and casuals! Then you go back to town and enjoy it being repopulated with shops and houses as cute reposians slowly return to their home.
Never fear Raposians! The creator god is back, and his hero, Bryyosaur, has come to save the day!

You are Canadian? And here I was always thinking that you were a citizen of the U.S. of A.

It won't hinder it AT ALL. In fact, this game will make you feel like you're an awesome drawer... I know, because I suck at drawing things. But the game gives you a template so that you can imagine the various parts needed, it gives you some supporting examples if you want to trace over something instead of starting from scratch...
And just to see your character animated (not perfect, but charmingly well... my Bryyosaur has some pretty broad shoulders because of the way it animates) makes you feel so good about yourself.

I can make two more, though, so maybe I'll make a new Klaymen and name him Raptor Jesus...

1. I decided to do my favourite oddball platforming hero from Super NES, Plok! A hero is born
2. Plok explores the town and does a stupid dance. Plok isn't supposed to have elbows, it turns out that although he fits perfectly in the character creator, he isn't really built for it.
3. Plok starts a level:
4. Plok does the stupid dance on a Plok-esque cloud of my own design. I like how he loses body parts as he gets hurt - it's kind of similar to the real Plok.
5. Plok saves the day! (LOL spoilerz!)
6. And just to showcase the flexibility of the character creator and the utter lack of artistic ability needed for this game, I drew TROGDOR!
He only took me about two minutes, and he actually animates a lot better than Plok - it's almost eerie!

Here's my growing vine.. plant thing though. Poo on the top and Bort license plates as the leaves. I'm classy!
Everytime you get hit some clothing falls off. =o

Edit: I went with an Ice Climbers totem. Popo on top with a hammer, Nana carrying him on the bottom. She splits into two because she's basically the Hero's legs, but it still looks kind of cool.
At first, everything I drew featured 8-bit video game things. Clouds were Pac-Man mazes, storm clouds were ghosts after a power pellet was eaten, that vine Vudu showed was a Piranha plant with fire flowers as leaves. Ice in the water was metroids. Things like that. Then, it just became tiresome to draw this stuff every time a new type of platform was introduced. Now, everything is just a scribble or a solid, single-color block.
The game would be very difficult if you chose not to fill in things at all, or just filled one pixel or something. I thought about doing that one, but it would be nearly impossible.
