The video above is a Flash based animation conceptualized and made by both Charles Yeh(Game Designer) and Alan Becker(Artist). This is a series of short animated sequences wherein the main character is a stick figure that for some reason came into a life and causes havoc on the animator's screen, and the animator on the other hand is trying to stop the stick figure for causing further chaos. It all started when the animator created the stick figure, then the stick figure got loose and seeks to destroy everything on the window and even worse on the animator's desktop. Both the stick figure and the animator are capable of manipulating the icons on the screen and use it as weapons (e.g: the animator uses the lasso tool to tie and immobilize the stick figure and the stick figure uses the eraser tool to erase whatever weapon the animator is creating using the brush tool.). The animation (video shown above) which is entitled "Animation vs. Animator (Full Series)" got 1,443,308 views by far. Because it became viral Yeh and Becker decided to make agame adaptation of the animation sequence also entitled "Animation vs. Animator" wherein users may choose which role to play , the Animation or the Animator. The game has difficulty levels and the weapons are the tools on the Macromedia Flash environment e.g Brush tool, Eraser tool, Eyedropper tool etc. which serves combat purposes. The objective is to contain each other (whether Animator or Animation) in 2 minutes, fail the objective and you lose the game.
