Hmm—how to explain DotWar without sounding idiotic, infantile or possibly both? Well, it’s like this: you tell the site your Twitter handle, choose another with which to, er, do battle, and then let it decide which of you is the winner. Oh, and it does this by turning your avatar into an army of thousands of little soldiers. Got that?
It’s probably a bit daft to explain here that the strength of those armies depends on the colors DotWar finds in your Twitter avatar, so we won’t bother. Instead, why not give it a spin and explore the intricacies of autoplay versus commanding the troops with your mouse, or of waging war on your entire roster of followers at random. Oh, we give up—go take a look, will you?
