About Sketch & Sprint

Sketch & Sprint is a cooperative platformer for two. The Runner sprints automatically through a scrolling course, while the Architect draws the paths they run on. The catch: drawn lines only last a few seconds, and only the Runner can see the dangers.

How to play

Create a room and share the four-letter code. Once your partner joins, the host picks Easy (4 rooms), Medium (6) or Hard (8).

The Architect draws lines with a finger or mouse. The Runner sticks to them and runs along ramps, walls and even loops.

Lines stay solid for 3 seconds, then erase from start to end, so keep drawing ahead.

The Runner can only jump and flip direction, using the buttons, Space or Up to jump, and F, Shift or the left/right arrows to flip.

Reach the teal goal at the end of each room within 2 minutes. You swap roles every room.

Dangers and stars

Homing orbs chase the Runner on every difficulty, and Hard adds turrets that fire shots. Any line pops orbs and blocks shots, but the Architect can't see them, so the Runner has to call out where to draw a shield. Each hit costs 5 seconds. Falling or getting left behind puts you back on a fresh pad. Each room has 4 stars, and the end screen shows how many you collected along with how many rooms you cleared before the clock ran out.

Tips

Architects: draw long, gentle slopes. Short, sharp scribbles are easy to fall off.

Connect your new line to the end of the old one so the Runner flows straight onto it.

Runners: shout early, like "orb coming from the right, high".

Draw through the stars. They're the only score you take home.

Why it's great for two

Each of you holds half the picture. The Architect builds the way, the Runner watches for danger, and neither can succeed alone. It's loud, silly and very satisfying when a line appears just in time.

Quick questions

How long does a game take? Each room lasts up to 2 minutes, so Easy takes under 10 minutes and Hard up to about 16.
Can we lose? Not really. If time runs out you move on to the next room. The end screen shows how many rooms you cleared and how many stars you collected, and gives your run a title, from Perfect Teamwork when you clear every room with nearly every star, down to a gentle Keep Practising.
Do I need to draw well? No. Simple, smooth lines work best.
