Kaedyo takes place in a unique fantasy world inside a notebook. What makes this game different is that you cannot directly control your units but indirectly influence their movements by drawing on the screen with magic pens.</p> <blockquote><p>The creative mind meets the thinking mind in this exciting mix of tactical strategy with an artistic edge! Trapped in the ink and paper world of a notebook, you must employ the powers of the colored pens on the battlefield, writing your own story of survival as you play.</p> <p>Imagine... one day you are doodling away in your notebook, lost in the act of creating your own fantasy world of beasts and magic. Suddenly, your notebook glows with a strange hue, and in a brilliant flash you find yourself... in your notebook, in that world, amidst all of your creations. Why were you transported there? What's going on? Act fast, because not all creatures of the world you created are friendly towards their creator, and others have a hidden agenda for the powers of the world-changing pens you hold in your hand - the very tools that were used to shape Kaedyo and its inhabitants.</p> <p>Kaedyo features a semi-real time battle system with a real time pen system. While units only move and attack when their movement bars fill up, pens can be used at any time to directly affect and manipulate the playable area, blocking enemy attacks and impeding enemy movement. Both friendly units and enemy units are affected most favorably with the color that matches them and most unfavorably with the color that is their direct opposite. Black blocks all colors. While the pens are powerful, you must be wary of certain restrictions, as ink is limited and drawn marks eventually expire. Wasting valuable ink on trivial purposes may render a stage impossible to beat! So use your pens carefully to guide and defend your characters on the board, defeating enemies as you go and surviving through each level. But think and act fast. Your way home depends on it.</p></blockquote> <p>Download (53.5 MB):</p> <p><a href="http://gdiac.cis.cornell.edu/showgame.php?id=KaedyoLivingInk" rel="nofollow">http://gdiac.cis.cornell.edu/showgame.php?id=KaedyoLivingInk</a> </p>
