Your runner can't stop. The page is full of gaps. All you have is a pencil. Sketchbook Runner is a hand-drawn doodle platformer where you draw lines to bridge every gap. Your stickman runs on its own — you draw the path. Drag to draw a bridge, a ramp or a loop. Tap to jump. Beat 50 hand-built levels across 10 chapters, run forever in endless mode, or race up to 4 players live. DRAW THE LINE. DON'T FALL. Gaps are everywhere. Draw ink lines to cross them — flat to walk, sloped to launch, a quick loop to bounce sky-high. Run out of ink mid-bridge and you fall. Drawing IS the game, and every chapter teaches a new trick with your pencil. RACE LIVE — MULTIPLAYER Race up to four players in real time on the same level and watch their ink appear stroke for stroke. Climb the global leaderboards, or chase a ghost: the world's #1 run or your own personal best. TEN CHAPTERS, TEN BOSSES • Pencil Marks — learn to draw across gaps. • Take a Leap — tap to jump when drawing is too slow. • Sharp Edges — plan your bridges around spikes. • Saw Mill — arc over spinning blades. • Moving Targets — time your lines past swinging saws. • Upside Down — gravity flips. Run on the ceiling. • The Eraser — draw a loop to bounce sky-high. • Head in the Clouds — ride updrafts, fight headwinds, catch a glider. • The Ruler — draw across the bars to break through walls. • The Author — every mechanic at once, and the page fights back. Every chapter ends in a boss that rewrites the rules. The Critic snatches your pencil. The Spike Lord forces a bouncing rhythm. The Eraser scrubs your lines off the page. Vertigo flips the world. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW • Endless mode that re-seeds every week — the same course for everyone. • Daily challenge: one level pays double pencils every 24 hours. • A 7-day daily reward streak. • Three-star ratings and hidden treasure chests on every level. DRESS UP YOUR STICKMAN 20+ hand-drawn cosmetics — top hats, capes, crowns, halos, devil horns — plus pet followers (a cat, a dog, a ghost and more) and ink colors from plain graphite to rainbow and glitter. Three-star a level to unlock fun mods like Moon Boots, Big Head and Tiny Runner. NO TIMERS, NO PAYWALLS No energy meters. No lives on a clock. Nothing you can buy gates your progress — every cosmetic is earned by playing. The campaign plays offline, as long as you like. DRAWN AT RUNTIME Every line on screen — platforms, spikes, saws, the stickman, the cosmetics — is drawn procedurally. No sprites. Sharp on every phone and tablet.
