***STORY*** You play the role of Gary - a stick man. Gary, however, is no ordinary stick man. You see, Gary was once a drawing, drawn up by the creative genius of his creator, Steven. Being Steven's very first drawing makes Gary a very special stick man indeed. Lately all of Steven's drawings have been mysteriously coming to life, some drawings friendly and others... not so much. There have also been whispers of strange happenings, drawings not acting like themselves, drawings disappearing, time and space being 'disjoint'. Nobody really knows the truth behind why all of Steven's drawings have suddenly come to life, but there have been whispers of an evil wizard who may have had something to do with it. It appears these rumours have spiked Gary's curiosity, and naturally Gary's first instinct is to investigate and find out answers for himself... ***ARCADE*** Run as Gary on a never-ending track and rack up points collecting gold pencils, letters, and Gary's favourite.. lollies! If you've done particularly well you can also upload your score to the online leader-board - ultimate bragging rights! ***ABOUT RUN GARY RUN*** Created by Baron Bloomer, 'A Sly Fox Game Studio'. Made with Game Maker Studio.
