Scribattle Lite is a free preview of Scribattle, a very fast-paced arcade game with an original look and interface that evokes pencil-and-paper games. You control three stationary warriors--stick figures drawn on graph paper--with a fixed amount of ammo per level (similar to classic games like Missile Comand), as they fire up at wave after wave of scribbled, fast-moving enemies. To fire, you touch a warrior and then quickly flick up to determine the speed and direction of each shot.

The multitouch controls mean that you can fire from one, two, or three warriors at once, which makes for interesting tactical choices and tough but addictive gameplay. Scribattle Lite includes only the first five levels of Scribattle, repeated in a loop as with the 50 levels of the full game. The paid version also includes shields and more types of enemies.
