Fantasketch

Fantasketch is an action puzzle game that expands on an award-winning original concept recognized at events such as the Game Creator Koshien. The project was developed by mentoring the original student team behind the concept and leading its full-scale development at Skeleton Crew Studio. Built around a unique “draw-to-play” mechanic, the game brings players’ hand-drawn creations to life as interactive characters. Each stage features different gimmicks and traps that must be overcome by creatively using the shape and color of the drawn character—squares provide stability, circles roll smoothly, and triangles can act as slopes, while colors add properties such as burning or sticking. By combining intuitive drawing with puzzle-solving and action gameplay, Fantasketch encourages experimentation and creative thinking. The project represents a collaboration between emerging talent and professional development, evolving a student award-winning idea into a polished commercial title, with a release also planned for Nintendo Switch 2.
