Marvelous Entertainment and Chibi-Robo director Kenishi Nishi have a creative iPad game, an RPG-style battle game based on Twitter. Followars takes your Twitter followers and makes them fight against another group of tweeters. Characters (twitter-tars?) repeat the latest tweets in cartoon speech bubbles while dealing damage on the battlefield.
