Ang Stickman games ay naka-build sa simple stick-figure characters, pero puwede silang sumakop sa maraming genres. Hindi detailed graphics ang focus, kundi movement, physics effects, fast scenes, at animations na madaling basahin. Puwedeng lumaban, tumakbo, tumalon, gumamit ng weapons, mag-drive ng vehicles, o maghanap ng way out sa maliit na puzzle-like situation ang player.
Sa tag na ito, puwedeng may stickman fighting games, parkour levels, runner games, shooting scenes, ragdoll physics, sports mini-games, races, at short arcade challenges. Pinapanatiling light at clear ng stick-figure style ang game: character movement, hits, falls, at mistakes ay agad nakikita. Kaya bagay ang stickman games sa simple reaction play pati sa harder physics at coordination challenges.
Kapag pumipili, magandang tingnan ang control precision, clear animations, level pace, at kung gaano ka-fair ipinapakita ang mistakes. Para sa short break, bagay ang quick fights at simple parkour stages. Para sa longer play, mas interesting ang varied modes, weapons, skills, gradually harder levels, at balance na nagre-reward ng correct movement kaysa random chaos.
