This, together with the perfectly simulated physics (the track must be sufficiently smooth to prevent the character from falling off the sled or the sled from falling into pieces) and the possibility to record and share the final animation, made Line Rider oddly addictive and easily turned it into an internet phenomenon. The board exceeds the space of the screen, allowing the user to draw large landscapes. As a drawing board, it offers basic tools to edit, delete, or remake parts of the drawing. Depending upon your attitude toward the character, you can try to make him ride indefinitely or make a drawing that will make him crash or fall in a spectacular way. The line you draw can be a simple line or evolve into an elaborate drawing. The concept is simple and the aesthetics are minimal, yet the possibilities are endless. Originally created in September 2006 by Slovenian artist Boštjan Čadež (also known as “fšk”) when he was still a student at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Line Rider is a classic sandbox game where you draw a track for a boy on a sled to ride on.
