STICK 2D

STICK 2D is a 2D spin off of the STICK Franchise.

Information

Unlike the main series, this game is a Platformer Run N Gun, so the game is played in a 2D perspective.

The game also used sprites, and as such, there is a separate image file for each frame of an entity.

Gameplay

The most notable difference in this game is that it involves more shooting and less hand-to-hand combat. The player can also pick up different weapons rather than just using the default.

For each Mission that the player completes, he/ she will recieve a Skill Point which can be used to upgrade the character's stats such as Pistol Damage and Max HP.

Unused Contents

1. There were sprites for both Male and Female Soldiers appearing freaked out, but neither are used.
2. It appears that the Fanatic Soldiers were originally going to use makeshift weapons such as RC Cars with Dynamite, and Explosive Basketballs.
3. There were sprites of the Valkyrie Archers reloading, but was unused.
4. Avengers are not seen in the game, even though their sprites are present.
5. There also appear to be a Zombie using a puke attack. But every Zombies in the game just melees.

Trivia

1. The mechanics of this game actually bears a resemblance to the retro Run N Gun game Metal Slug that is made by SNK. The pistol, machine gun, rocket launcher and greades are all based off weapons from that game.
2. Aside from the weapons, other "borrowed elements" including the Basic Soldiers' death animation (from the main enemies), the sound effects and even the explosions.
