About
Bitku is a free, intuitive game that lets players create 1-4 panel comics or stories using 10 random cards related to a chosen theme. Each card has a background or object that can be recolored, enlarged, or rotated, allowing for customization. Completed creations can be saved as PNGs and shared. Bitku is part storyteller, comic creator, art toy, and a unique way to express oneself in pixels.

Overall, it offers a lighthearted approach to storytelling, though it may not appeal to everyone.
“This surprisingly was a very simple fun storytelling game, and is a lot of fun when making stories with friends. I rate this a 1/1 because it never had to fulfill much criteria in the first place.”
“There's no gameplay loops, progression, story, or any gameplay at all.”
“I suppose it's not everyone's cup of tea, and appears a bit goofy at first glance, but I like trying to figure out what I can do with the picture pieces the game gives me and see if I can create a cohesive story with it.”
“Bitku invites you to stretch your imagination and come up with a story using just a handful of random pieces.”
