Stick Figure Penalty Overview
Stick Figure Penalty was one of those simple, direct games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't have a complicated story or elaborate graphics. You were just presented with a situation and a set of tools.
You control a cursor, nothing more. Your goal is to eliminate the stick figure on screen using whatever method the level provides. One moment you might be clicking to drop a weight, the next you could be guiding a saw or timing the release of a pendulum. The mechanics are straightforward interactions, often relying on timing or a simple sequence of clicks. The pace is quick, with each scenario lasting only a few seconds before you move on to the next. It feels like a series of brief, darkly humorous puzzles where the solution is always a creative demise.
