Show HN: Overdesigned Simple Solitaire

A free creative game that turns your doodles into playable heroes. Draw any character with a finger or mouse, color it for extra HP, and the system animates it, gives it a name, a voice and three special moves. That character then enters an online world populated by other people’s creations where it can explore, fight monsters, gain experience and level up. A seasonal Halloween challenge runs until November 1: draw a monster and defeat The Pumpkin Scribble to earn a Pumpkin Hat. No sign-up is required and it runs on phone, tablet or computer.
The drawing interface uses simple tools (crayon, marker, pencil plus size, undo, eraser and clear) and marks joints with draggable dots (notably head, neck, hip, hands and feet) so you can tweak motion. An AI analyzes only the drawing, not photos, to assign a name, voice and moves; you can rename, save, share or make a short clip for social platforms. The creators emphasize that the original doodle isn’t redrawn - what you draw becomes the in-game character - and provide quick options to peek at the shared “Fridge” world, export clips, or redraw and iterate.
