Your stickman won't stop running. You hold the pen. Draw a wall and the archer's arrow snaps on it. Draw a bridge and he crosses the pit. Draw a ledge and he hops the boulder. Ink fades fast, so draw late and draw smart. HOW TO PLAY • Swipe anywhere to draw. Lines are solid while the ink is wet. • Block arrows, bridge pits, dodge falling rocks and rolling boulders. • Chain blocks for combos, graze arrows for close-call bonuses. COLLECT & UPGRADE • 12 stickman skins: pirate, ninja, wizard, devil, king, angel and more. • 7 inks: neon, fire, sparkle, rainbow. • Powers: magnet, shield, slow pen, big ink, slow fade. EVERY DAY • 3 daily missions with a set bonus. • 45 trophy stars to earn. • Daily login coins. Hand-drawn on notebook paper. Short runs, no timers, no energy. Just you and the pen.
