About This Game
Stickman Climb 2, developed by No Pressure Studios, is an addictive physics-based platformer that takes the quirky mechanics of its predecessor to new heights. You control a stickman trapped in a heavy metal pot, using a huge hammer (or pickaxe) to propel yourself through 62 perilous levels filled with spikes, saws, and traps. Your goal is to reach the flag at the end of each level, utilizing checkpoints to save progress. The game’s unique control mechanic—balancing with the hammer—requires precision and patience, reminiscent of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy. Play solo or race a friend in local two-player mode on the same device, adding a competitive edge. With customizable skins, vibrant pixel-art visuals, and clever level design, Stickman Climb 2 is perfect for platformer fans, puzzle enthusiasts, and casual gamers who love a challenge.
How to Play
Playing Stickman Climb 2 is simple to learn but demands skill to master. Here’s how it works:
- Move with the Hammer: Use your pickaxe (or hammer) to propel the stickman forward, backward, or upward by swinging it against surfaces. The stickman’s pot makes movement tricky, requiring careful balance.
- Navigate Obstacles: Dodge deadly spikes, saws, and other traps while climbing platforms to reach the flag at the end of each level.
- Use Checkpoints: Hit checkpoints to save progress, as falling into traps restarts you at the last checkpoint or the level’s start.
- Single or Two-Player Mode: Play solo to conquer levels or race against a friend in local two-player mode, where the first to reach the flag wins.
- Customize Your Stickman: Unlock eight body colors, 11 moving tools (like Christmas gift boxes), and 21 pot styles by collecting coins or watching ads.
- Retry Freely: If you fall, press the revive key (R) to restart at the last checkpoint or level start, with no penalties. The game’s 62 levels, including a Christmas update with new stages, increase in difficulty, testing reflexes and strategy. There’s no time limit, allowing you to focus on mastering the hammer’s physics.
