Encourage your kid’s drawing skills with Draw a Stickman: Epic 3, arriving on iOS and Android next week

Hitcent's popular puzzler meets colouring book series Draw a Stickman will be returning to iOS, Android and PC on 7th May. The latest entry is called Draw a Stickman: Epic 3 and could provide a great distraction and learning tool for children at this time.

Not only does it provide an opportunity to be creative, before you even begin playing the game you'll have to draw your own hero, but it also features several logical puzzles that parents and children can have fun solving together.

For example, if there are several rocks blocking your path the best way through might be to use a pickaxe. Once you've figured that out, it's time to draw the tool in your limitless sketchbook. Once you've drawn and created your pickaxe it can then be stored here too for easy access if you need it again in future.

There won't just be a series of rocks to remove though, the world is a little more dangerous than that. Our freshly drawn hero will need to defeat the Corruption and a host of monsters that are determined to hinder their progress. This will include Oozes, Trolls, Bully Goats and even an evil Hamster who you will need to constantly outsmart during your adventure.

Each of the game's levels will contain dozens of secrets and hidden pathways to discover that will reward thorough explorers. Among other things, you'll find your lost Color Buddies who will grant you new colours to use to bring life to your drawings.

You might also uncover colouring guides, tool blueprints and pencils that will further help you to overcome the different bosses you'll face throughout your journey. They can also be used to restore life back to the world that the Corruption has done its best to ruin.

Draw a Stickman: EPIC 3 will be available for iOS, Android and PC on 7th May when it will be free to download.
