## What is Hangman∙?

Hours of fun, and nobody gets hurt...  much.

"Sticky" is the luckiest stick figure ever hanged.  The rope seems to break every time.  Once he's down, it's up to you to fling him around:  through the hoop, into the portal, onto the platforms... earning points as you do.

Play against your iPhone or iPad, or play against a friend.  There are thousands of words in 40 categories and they're all completely free.  Earn points by guessing letters, finishing puzzles, and beating minigames.  Spend your points on costumes for "Sticky".  Make him a Robot, a Pirate, a Crafty Miner...  There are 10 to choose from.

You earn a point for every letter you reveal, and those points are doubled if you reveal all the letters.  You also earn points for beating minigames.  You can get all of the costumes with points and play all of the words for free.  You never have to spend any real money.

But, if you're in a hurry, you can unlock all costumes with an in-app purchase.  Or, if you just need a few points for a costume and you don't want to earn them by playing, you can get a few points with another in-app purchase.
