"Mightier" independent game

Check out this freeware game from the Independent Games Festival:
http://tigsource.com/articles/2008/12/18/mightier

You print out templates on an inkjet printer, and then draw on the paper using a pen, and then capture your drawing with a web camera. It turns your drawings into a 3D level and a 3D character...

    Wow, does it need a webcam or will a scanner do?

    I played the game and they have a mode where you can draw using the mouse. So the web cam and printer is optional.

    Btw, the last level in the game DOES need a printer, I believe. It's optional for the rest of the game.

    eh, looks pretty cool. these games are interesting, but i'm so laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy to actually play it.

    The whole gameplay of solving puzzles based on whatever you draw and run and jump doesn't really click with me, but that whole taking 2d drawings and creating 3d characters and levels is pretty kickass.

    That looks neat and not fun at all.

    Looks like a neat idea, but not very fun.
