While some users find the bugs amusing, others express frustration, indicating that the game could benefit from further polish and stability improvements.

The secret achievements are all so hard to find, and the Among Us references are just so amazing. Thank you so much for filling my heart! Even though I'm 3 years late, it's still good. To the creators, thank you for all the things you did. It's just so happy to see a game that was released over 3 years ago with no problems and no glitches.”

  • optimization48 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, particularly in fullscreen mode and at higher resolutions, leading to frame drops and crashes.

    • “The performance is overall really weird; I'm guessing the collection runs around 24fps, but dips sometimes. This is probably caused either by the engine or the animation isn't as smooth as I remember it looking back in the browser days.”
    • “Very unoptimized, I've never gotten above 27 fps and playing the Zelda flute thing crashed the game.”
  • character development23 mentions

    Character development in this game is surprisingly robust for a stickman title, featuring well-crafted story arcs and humorous character interactions that resonate with players.

Overall, the game balances humor and touching moments, enhancing the player's connection to the characters throughout the series.

    • “The stories themselves are incredibly funny, packed with references to both earlier entries in the series and other elements of popular culture, yet they are also touching in places, with major characters like Charles, Ellie, Reginald, and Right Hand Man getting their own plot lines and character development within and between each story arc.”

    • “The fact that I am praising a stickman game and that it has better characters and character development, a more well thought out, humorous and perfectly crafted continuing/joined story and replayability and choice, than most modern games from multi-billion dollar companies you see come out today, is sad (in a good way).”
