Stickman Climb! — Play Free Online

Stickman Climb! is a jump and platform game that plays in the browser with nothing to install. You control a stick figure and work your way upward, steering with the keyboard while the mouse handles aiming and selecting. It sits comfortably next to Doodle Jump's own climb-as-high-as-you-can habit, but the controls ask a little more of you than tilting left and right.

A session is easy to start and easy to drop. Press Play, get the controls under your fingers in the first minute, and then it becomes a question of reading what is above you and choosing your next move carefully rather than mashing keys. If you came to this site for Doodle Jump and want something with more deliberate movement, this is a reasonable next page to open.

How to play

On desktop, move with the arrow keys or WASD, and use the mouse to aim and to pick options on screen. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. Because the game mixes keyboard and mouse, it is most comfortable with one hand on the keys and the other on the mouse or trackpad.

The goal is to climb. Each attempt is a matter of moving the stickman upward, using the mouse where the game asks you to aim, and not losing the height you have earned.

Tips

• Spend the first attempt learning how the arrow keys and the mouse split the work, before you worry about getting high.
• Make small, controlled inputs. Over-correcting is the usual way to lose progress in any climbing game.
• On a touchscreen, swipe with purpose instead of tapping repeatedly; the game is built to read gestures.
