Amazing world of gumball oc maker

The Character Creator is a game based on The Amazing World of Gumball. It is only available on the European Cartoon Network websites. There is also a version of the game on Facebook.

Gameplay

The game is, as the title suggests, a character creator. The player creates their own character by following seven steps.

Step one is selecting which method to use to create the character's body. There are three methods:  taking a picture with a webcam, uploading the picture from the player's computer, or browsing a selection of preloaded images. The first two methods immediately advance the player to the third step.

Step two only occurs if the player chooses to browse the selection of preloaded pictures. There are fifty images available for the character's body.

Step three is scaling and rotating the chosen picture. One can rotate it fluidly 360°, stretch it horizontally or vertically, compress it horizontally or vertically, and enlarge or shrink it.

Step four is cutting out the part of the picture that one wants to use for the body. Oftentimes the body the player has chosen to use is not a square— it is a shape with an unnecessary background to it. The tool used is essentially the free select tool in Photoshop or GIMP.

Step five is cramming body parts and accessories onto the chosen body. Many of the body parts are used in the show— there are Penny's legs and Mr. Small's arms, to name a few. The player must choose one set of eyes, a mouth, a pair of arms, a pair of legs, and an accessory. They can be arranged however desired on the body.

Step six is creating a name for the character. The player can only select a combination of three preselected words for the name; the player cannot type their own.

Step seven is submitting and/or saving the character. To submit the character to the gallery to be viewed by the world, a MyCN account is required. This is not required to save the creation as a wallpaper. For the wallpaper, the player can select one of four backgrounds for the character to appear in.

One can also play with their character (along with characters from other people) in the gallery section. An account is not required to play with other people's characters. There are five effects to choose from. The first is the shake and bake, in which the character does a Charleston while "Because We're Men" plays. Next is jazz hands, where the character does jazz hands while the opening theme of the show plays. Third is zap attack, where Masami drops a thunderbolt on the character. Fourth is hands in the air, where the rave song in "The Party" plays as the character does a funky dance. Fifth is side to side, in which the character does a kiddie dance while the quirky song from "The Microwave" plays.

While playing with the effects, players can rate the character as either cool (good) or fool (bad). One can also download it as a wallpaper in the same way as in step seven of the creation process.
