How does the software work? The Pixicade app recognizes colors and shapes and adds animations and effects automatically depending on the type of game you select. For example, in one game type, Blue objects might be "destructable" or Green objects might be "Collectible" There are 7 game types included in the app, so you can, for example, draw something that resembles an air hockey game and then choose the "Paddle Battle" game type and BAM, you've got a 2 player battle to score!

Each game type has unique physics, playstyle, rules and animations.
