It’s a dark world out there for a teeny little stickman like you, and it’s about time you light it up. Jump, flip and slide from one neon shape to another to make them glow. Collect stars as you play to raise your score. Just when you start to feel like a stickman boss, things get complicated (or “sticky,” if you will) as you pass levels. Shapes start moving, rotating and even exploding, and lethal spikes become a constant threat to your poor little stickman life. If you miss a jump or hit a spike… you fall into oblivion!
