Stick Running Game Review

Stick Running Game Background

Stick Running is a horizontal 2D endless running game. As a stick figure, keep running for as long as you can while timing jumps, double jumps, and rolls to dodge any obstacles that come your way. The game was developed by Maximiliano Demonte's QKY Games Studio.

How to Play Stick Running

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the touchscreen with your fingers. Select anywhere on the loading screen to bring up the welcome screen. From there, select anywhere to get started.

On a desktop with a keyboard, press the up arrow key to jump (press twice to double jump) and press the down arrow key to roll. On a touchscreen device, tap on the left side to roll and tap on the right side to jump. Pressing the up arrow key or tapping on the right side twice lets you double jump.

Basic Gameplay Advice

You automatically start running at the start of the game. Every time you see an obstacle, you have two options: jump or roll. Roll when you must go under an obstacle and jump to move over it. Jumping is also crucial to hop from one platform to the next.

Keep going for as long as you can. The longer you run, the higher your score will be. Your latest and best scores can be seen on the game over screen.

Avoid hitting platforms and obstacles; doing so is an instant game over.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Time your jumps and rolls so that you effectively clear the current obstacle while having ample time to prepare for the next one. This is especially important in areas where the obstacles are clustered closely together.
