Margin Brawl

Knock your friends off the notebook page!

Margin Brawl is a platform fighter that takes place in the back of a school notebook. Every hit raises your opponent's damage %, and the higher it climbs, the farther they fly. Knock everyone off the page to win. Inspired by Super Smash Bros and drawing stick figures on notebook paper. 

Easy to pick up, hard to put down

One attack button and one special button. Hold a direction to change what they do: jabs, kicks, uppercuts, spike stomps, ink-blob shots, superman dashes and ground pounds. Block with your shield, roll out of trouble, air-dodge past a finisher, and spring-jump back when you've been sent flying.

Four doodles, four play styles

• Doodle, the all-rounder that throws ink blobs
• Marker, big, square-headed and heavy. Hits like a truck.
• Pencil, fast and light, with a triple jump and quick darts
• Crayon, floaty and waxy. It glides and lobs bouncing rainbows.

Five pages, five hazards

A giant eraser sweeps Eraser Alley. A Leaky Pen drips ink on everyone. Paper Planes buzz through class. Torn Page falls apart under your feet. Notebook Page keeps it classic.

Grab whatever's in the pencil case

Swing a Giant Pencil, bonk people with a squeaky Rubber Chicken, fire a Stapler, or grab a Gold Star to heal.

Play your way

• Campaign: six chapters against tougher and tougher doodles, ending in a showdown with the giant BIG SCRIBBLE
