Review:

Stickmen - some people love them, some people hate. The truth is, that the "stickman-style" is now one of the most known over the internet. These skinny guys are everywhwere, so making a fighting/action game of this type is the easiest way to draw viewers attention (fans of skinny guys at least). The hard part is to make something new and really enjoying. How was it this time? Let's see.
Intro is really great. For a flash game, of course. Well known Prodigy soundtrack, a lot of action, good "camera work". It makes the player jump to the battle.
There are 3 types of gameplay: adventure, survival and tournament.
The first one is the most interesting, in my opinion. Few simple levels with some "tasks". Easy, nice, short.
The second one is just mindless button tapping - killing the endless waves of enemy.
The third one is similar to the previous one, but here you go screen after screen, fighting one more simultaneous enemy each stage.
Besides, there is also "The Dojo", tutorial.
After learning the basics, you have the first feeling of "sturdiness of controls". It just lacks the flow.
The gameplay is boring. In the adventure mode, you can have some fun, but it's too short. Other modes are extremely boring. Few simple moves, that you can perform, ends up with mindless buttons tapping. It's hard to find any aspects of strategy, thinking or anything. Tapping all around.
The last thing I would like to comment is the grenade throwing. The idea of using mouse during only this one action is irritating. You control your hero all by keyboard, so grenade throwing should be also performed with keyboard!

Conclusion:

Another stickman game with good, promising intro. Can give 15 to 20 minutes of fun, but that's all. Nothing to keep you longer.
