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.
