Stickicide 2 Overview
Stickicide 2 was one of those games you'd find in the late 2000s, tucked away on a Flash game portal. It belonged to a wave of simple, physics-based titles where the goal was often absurd, and the controls were just a few keys. The game didn't make a big fuss about itself; it just loaded and let you get to it.
You control a white stick figure. Your only job is to guide him into various environmental hazards before a timer expires. You might walk him off a ledge, into a spinning blade, or under a falling weight. The arrow keys handle movement, and the challenge comes from navigating the small stages to find every possible way to expire. The pace is quick, demanding you to think and move fast to rack up a high score of self-inflicted demises. It feels like a strange, methodical puzzle where the solution is always your own cartoonish end.
