Uanamon: Rugly Invasion

About

You play as Sofia, a kid using doodles to defend a fantasy realm during wartime. Draw your own defenders or use designs from other Ukrainian children to battle invading monsters in this side-scrolling action game. Combat is simple but frantic, with colorful creatures clashing in quick waves. The story unfolds through sparse but poignant scenes of a girl creating hope in a basement. The game’s standout is its real-world collaboration. Player-created characters from kids in Ukraine are featured, blending personal art with gameplay. While not mechanically complex, it’s a heartfelt project with over 100 user-submitted designs integrated into the final build. Released in mid-2023, it’s a short but meaningful experience for fans of art-driven indie games.
