 Draw a Stickman: EPIC 3

'Draw a Stickman: EPIC 3' app icon.

In the latest instalment of the Draw a Stickman series, players see their creations come to life in a slime-fighting adventure, starting with a simple task: draw a stickman. From there the scene opens onto Stickville, where your character meets new friends. But those pals are whisked away in a supernatural earthquake. Can you bring them home? Draw tools to outsmart bad guys, cut through obstacles and find your lost buddies. It's a clever way to get students to practise drawing, which is fundamental to Ontario's elementary arts curriculum. The free version is ad-supported; the non-ad version is available via in-app purchase ($5.49).
