Rakugaki Showtime is a game along the same vein as Poitter's Point (also known as Poy Poy) where in you try to defeat the opponents by throwing things at them. Welcome to the world of Rakugaki. An imaginary game world, created entirely by the pencil drawings of the "God Hand". The characters who inhabit this world were created by the God Hand in the same way... Yukiwo, Sasami, Pitanand Tsubohachi; the four members of the "Heroes Team", and Daddy; who commands the mysterious enemy character army. Called the "Heroes and Enemies", they are all controlled by their master, and follow their predetermined (created?) fate. Today a battle to the end unfolds...

Reviews here first, then TMDB's reviews and the title's Wikipedia plot and reception. If nothing settles it, you can put it to the curators.
