Each time you die, it is added to your collection and you are given a slap down message. The more absurd, the more you are likely to find it here as time travel, aliens, laser beams, gun chases and improbable physics run the day. Henry Stickmin entertains by calling out to your base slapstick humour that has been around since early black and white cinema with deadpan delivery and crazy stunts on offer. It is rarely just from two options – its often as high as six – and half of the time five of them will kill you in wonderfully comical ways. You may want to escape from the police for example after raiding a jewel and you’ll have a variety of icon or inventory based options to choose from. Roll the ball, shoot, talk, stand – all the choices are yours… and so are all the deaths!Įach screen of each episode is an often vast branching path of scenarios. The actual gameplay remains untouched and that is the gem of the crown. In terms of technical features, having seen screenshots of the originals – the collection is a vast step forward whilst maintaining the same feel of stickmen doing naughty things. The previous five had all their sound and backgrounds redone and the original ‘Break the Bank’ has been reanimated too. The collection contains six episodes, the final one being completely new. If you too are not in the know, these are madcap short interactive cartoons where experimentation and choosing options that get you killed are just as fun as solving the caper itself. This review is based solely on a complete newcomer to the series and the collection as a whole. I had somehow been completely unaware of the Henry Stickmin series until I came across the The Henry Stickmin Collection on Steam recently and picked it up.
