About This Game

IIIIIIlI is a doodle-and-can-kicking asymmetric versus game where your drawings become your disguise.
Set on pixel-art stages, split into "Hunters" and "Runners" and battle it out.

🎨 Draw on Yourself and the Stage — Free-Form Mimicry

You can become anything — at least in appearance.
Redraw your own look and blend into walls, furniture, floors, and other scenery.
You can even doodle directly on the stage's floors and walls — create hiding spots shaped like your disguise, leave signals for allies, or plant fake clues to fool the Hunter.
Every time a player draws, the stage itself is repainted, so even the same spot plays out differently each match.

🎮 Simple Rules, Simple Goal

• Hunter: Find and catch all Runners before time runs out!
  
• Runner: Use mimicry, skills, and the "Can" to survive until time's up!

Kick a special "Can" on the map to deal damage to the Hunter and strike back — the hunted can turn the tables in an instant.

🧊 Help Your Teammates

Captured teammates become "frozen," but you can revive (thaw) them by staying nearby.
Save a teammate, strike back with a can, or prioritize your own survival — simple rules give way to short but dramatic showdowns.

🖼️ Your Image Becomes a One-of-a-Kind Stage

Load an image saved on your PC, and the game automatically converts it into a walled stage based on its shapes and its light and dark areas.
A photo, an illustration — any familiar picture becomes the battlefield. Enjoy fresh mind games with friends on a stage that's uniquely yours.

⚡ Your Name Determines Your Skills & Perks

Your available skills and perks are determined by your "Player Name".
Once set, they cannot be changed. Embrace the fate tied to your name and discover your own unique playstyle.

• Skill examples: Teleport to shake off a chase, use decoys and smoke screens to fool the Hunter, scout to see through mimicry, and more.
  
• Perk examples: Slightly faster movement, slightly wider field of view, etc.
