Blockade Runner

Blockade Runner

blockade-runner, listjam, parkour, stick-figure, stickman, the-tub

You are a courier enlisted in the war effort.

The information you carry could spell disaster for your enemies...

But they're onto you.


With a labyrinthine gauntlet of machinery between you

and victory, your one and only mission is clear:

Get to da chopper.


An ode to classic NG stick figure games and a submission to List Jam. The two themes I chose were:

  •  the visuals are monochromic
  • you control the entire game with just one button (no mouse)


HOW TO PLAY


You run automatically.

Press space or touch your screen to jump.

Press R to reset to the nearest checkpoint. (softlock deterrent)

Run into checkered walls while grounded to flip your direction.

Jump into checkered walls to wall jump off them.
