Stickman's Bad Luck

As the first person to review this game I shall give you an honest 200 hour long read so you know what you are getting into. Gameplay: The first item on our list will be the gameplay the game is fun just gonna put it there I enjoyed my 3 hours playing though this and I would be willing to pay more for the game if there was a dev supporter bundle for the game. Now the game is a metroidvania a very short one at that, but it does make itself fun with various platforming challenges not being to hard or unfair. The aha moments didn't really show up because of the small map. However one great positive is that the hint system actually gives you hints/tells you were to go instead of saying info that you already know like most Zelda games. Bugs: I'd say this game is around 30-60 mins on a first playthrough now I am writing this directly after finishing and as you can tell it took me 3 hours to beat why because there was one bug that I got over and over again and it was one that hardlocked me so if you unlock a door with a key and you enter the room again and see the door locked again DON'T OPEN IT WITH ANY OTHER KEY keys do not respawn with one acceptation so yeah that is the one and only bug I found that made me reset the game 3 times I hope the dev reads this review and fixes it. This might be a deal breaker depending on how stingy you are with this stuff but I still recommend this game. Bosses/Combat: When you attack you stop in place that is not a bed thing though because enemies just move left to right. Bosses on the other hand. The number of bosses in the game are 2 maybe 3 if there is a true ending with a true final boss or secret boss I don't know about, but ether way the boss design is well done you have to make them vulnerable instead of wait for there attack pattern to be done you attack repeat. of course the hit box for one of the final bosses attack in very off centered and you have to jump very early in order to not take damage. Story: [spoiler] ok so the story is very Mario like and generic but the humour and characters carry it similar to paper mario on the n64. The story starts as Stickman is making some soup but he forgot tomatoes and has to go out shopping for them, this leads to his car crashing and Stickman fall into a hole were you get you first item the hammer after that Stickman comes across a grave and a leaver telling him to pull it he does and it explodes revealing a ghost who tells you Stickman's destiny then leaves, once you make it to the town Stickman sleeps and heads East to a old building which leads to the labyrinth were you have your first encounter with the games main antagonist EVIL STICKMAN you fight and you win (first boss btw) I'm going to skip a head now since no other story things really happen. Once Stickman gets a piece of paper saying he is the chosen one Evil Stickman destroys the town you are staying at then you make it over to Evil Stickman's Castle the plays great final dungeon music and you make it Evil Stickman were one final fight happens. Then the earth blows up the End.

Short, but fun with a lot of personality. Hearkens back to the days of Flash (RIP in Peace). Great little time-waster (and it [i]will[/i] waste your time. 🤫)
