This looks very, very interesting.
Impressions anyone?

Just .99? Nice!

I imagine impressions will take some time because players have to sit down and get busy drawing first

Nah! Just do a Google Image serach for something interesting and take a picture of your computer monitor. That's what I'd do, anyway.

This game looks very fun and creative. Too bad I don't have an iPhone so the game would not be worth it I don't think. It would be too much of a hastle to do it with an iPod Touch.

Oh wait, I can always go to Google and find images! Yay!

Can you use images that you have downloaded or made in another program? I only have an ipod touch...

As has been reported in the several previews on the game, yes, you can use preexisting images.

For me, this is by far the biggest head-scratcher of the 2010 line-up. I know a lot of people are very excited about this game, and I understand the appeal of being able to draw your own sprites. From everything I've seen, however, all that player effort leads what is essentially a mediocre shmup. I guess we'll have to wait and see what comes out once people get their hands on the game -- i just don't see how this beats something as inventive as Buster Red, for example.
