Inkline Panic: Draw the Path Runner

Your next step does not exist yet. Draw it. A little ink creature is running across a notebook full of gaps, and it will not stop.

How it plays. Drag the mouse to draw a bridge or a ramp before the runner gets there. Every stroke costs ink, and every line fades a few seconds after you draw it, turning dashed just before it goes. Draw too early and the bridge is gone when you need it. Draw too late and there is nothing to land on. Erasers sweep through your lines, low pencil blocks hang over the path, and stamps wait just above the ground for a runner with a good route.
