The game presents a simple 2D Portal clone with familiar portal and puzzle mechanics.
Offers some challenging puzzles particularly for players new to portal-based puzzle games.
Short length allows for a quick playthrough and achievement completion.

The game is plagued by numerous bugs and poor physics that break gameplay and make some puzzles trivial.
Graphics and overall design are minimalistic and unattractive, with some awkward controls and UI elements.
Very short and overly simplistic, leading to a boring experience without much depth or polish.

The gameplay is a basic, 2D take on Portal's physics-puzzle mechanics but feels outdated, repetitive, and poorly designed. While some levels offer genuine challenges, the overall experience is short, minimalistic, and better suited for fans of puzzle games rather than newcomers. The mechanics and visuals are criticized as unpolished and uninspired.
- “To pass levels, you have to solve problems using the portal mechanic.”
- “If someone is new to the mechanics, the game is quite challenging - but if someone's new to these puzzle games, they should definitely not start with this one.”
- “If you really love these kinds of puzzle/portal games, this might be something that you can enjoy for some hours; the 26 levels, apart from some quick ones, are real levels and not asset flips or fake random things.”
- “Stickman in the portal is a ripoff of Valve's very successful 3D physics/puzzler game, Portal, with a twist - they used really crappy 2D platformer mechanics instead of a nice 3D environment.”
- “The game mechanics are really basic, quite childish in some way.”
- “Maybe it's from the perspective of someone who has played games like these since the '90s, but it seems like a recycle of levels and mechanics already seen multiple times.”

The game's graphics are minimalistic and poorly executed, with frequent bugs such as objects floating through walls and awkward respawns. The fixed single-screen layout makes windowed mode unplayable, and overall the visual presentation feels outdated and uninspired. While the puzzles have some merit, the lackluster graphics and mechanical issues detract significantly from the experience.
- “The game offers some graphical options, but playing in windowed mode is difficult because the entire game is displayed on a single screen with 26 levels stacked vertically—no side scrolling. This means if you're not in fullscreen, you'll only see two floors compressed together.”
- “The graphics are minimalistic but functional; for example, when you pick up a cube, it simply floats next to your character with no visual changes to the stickman.”
- “Despite some graphical bugs like objects passing through walls and instant respawns, the minimalist design supports the puzzles reasonably well.”
- “The game has literally lots of bugs and graphical issues, from the instant respawn to the boxes picked up traveling through walls. The graphics are too minimalistic, and interacting with blocks can be frustrating as they move unpredictably.”
- “If you really love these kinds of puzzle/portal games, this might be enjoyable for a few hours, although it's really badly rendered both graphically and mechanically. The whole game looks old, copied, and totally boring.”
- “It should have been worked on way more, and graphics should have played a more significant role.”
