    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Stickman in the Portal" has been criticized for its simplistic and outdated mechanics, which feel like a poor imitation of the original Portal game. While it offers some challenging puzzles, the overall experience is marred by minimalistic design, repetitive levels, and subpar graphics, making it difficult to recommend, especially for newcomers to the genre. However, fans of basic puzzle games may find some enjoyment in its 26 levels, despite the game's many flaws.

    • “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 the other thing we have to consider is that, if someone's new to these puzzle games, he 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.”
    • “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 all a recycle of levels and mechanics already seen multiple times.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are criticized for being poorly rendered and minimalistic, with significant bugs and issues such as instant respawning and objects passing through walls. Players find the experience frustrating, especially in windowed mode, as the single-screen design limits visibility and makes gameplay cumbersome. Overall, while the puzzles may offer some enjoyment for dedicated fans of the genre, the outdated visuals and mechanics detract from the overall experience.

    • “The game has literally lots of bugs and graphical issues, from the instant respawn to the boxes picked up that will travel through the walls and so on. It's all too minimalistic, although in some way the puzzles work. Apart from the fact that if you accidentally step on a block, it will go meters away and you'll have to pick it up gently again.”
    • “It should have been worked on way more, and graphics should have a role too.”
    • “If you really love these kinds of puzzle/portal games, this might be something that you can enjoy for some hours, although it's really badly rendered, both graphically and in terms of mechanics, portal creation, blocks, and whatever else. For everyone else though, I'd definitely not recommend it; the whole game looks old, copied, and totally boring.”
