| | Most games in this series are 2D platformers, with ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'' being more of a puzzle game with a platformer twist. Each game also has a "village mode", where the player can interact with the various [[Raposa]] and access the map menus. With the exception of ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'', each game has a focus on rescuing Raposa from the levels, while also collecting various objects ranging anywhere from [[Template]]s, [[Stamp]]s, or [[Heather's Pendant|Valuable Artifacts]]. In every game, the player can also create their own graphics, with the main pull of the series being the ability to "Drawn Your Hero!". The player is also able to draw various level objects, village objects, and even some enemies in ''Drawn to Life: Spongebob Squarepants Edition''. | | Most games in this series are 2D platformers, with ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'' being more of a puzzle game with a platformer twist.
