Phantomation in brief
Across sixteen levels, players learn Play Sketch, an animation tool. A real time feature records an animation by demonstration, with no keyframes to set by hand, and the main levels let players choose between that method and keyframing. It doubled as a research project testing whether the technique makes animation easier to learn, and it took Best of Show at the 2013 International Serious Play Awards.
