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''.

While [[5th Cell]] developed the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]'', [[THQ]] contracted [[Planet Moon Studios]] to develop a version of the game for the [[:wikipedia:Wii|Nintendo Wii]]. Despite sharing the same name, the game has very little in common with its DS counterpart, and the game is considered non-canon to the series. The development process was particularly rough, with multiple developers citing weeks of crunch and poor organization as contributing factors. Despite this, it remains one of the best selling games in the series, behind only ''[[Drawn to Life: Spongebob Squarepants Edition]]''. It released simultaneously with the DS version in all regions.
