Stick Nightmare is a simple puzzle-platform game where you control yourself after having some drinks at a local bar.
- Easy to pick up and play: Run, jump, walk and warp. That’s all you’ll going to do.
- Quite Difficult: The game is aimed for those who are looking for a challenging platformer and speed runners. Difficulty based on level design, not on cheap deaths or surprise attacks. May provoke some rage.
- Casual Support: You may progress in the game even if you die a thousand times and take 3 hours to finish a level.
- Rewards for hardcore: Earn medals for not dying and milestones for completing some requirements.
- Realistic storyline: Yep. Quite realistic.[list]

I've been following the development of the game since its early days.
It always felt to me like the offspring of a threesome between Super Meat Boy, unsettling setup and physics based movement.
The graphics can put people off, but if you give some time to it, you'll soon realize that the level design is really challenging and creative. And that desire to conquer the next obstacle, that "oh, on the next one I'm sure I can get it" moment will permeate your thoughts. Everything moves towards this feeling, including the fact that failing in the game is nothing big at all. If your char died, you restart from the last chekpoint in the very same second.

Don't be fooled by the simple graphics, this game has a great level design.
It's very challenging and you don't feel like "rage quitting" a lot. You'll want to get that certain item or finish the courses.
The physics are somewhat more realistic than most games, helping to create a more unique fell to this one.
Give Stick Nightmare a chance. It may surprise you.

It's hard. Fun. Super hard. Frustrating. Impossible? Delightful -- when you finally beat the level after 150 deaths!
This is a crazy game with a very original graphic style and a pretty good level design. Everything is placed and timed in a pixel and millisecond perfect manner to force you to find the right timing to run, walk, jump, warp, die and warp again...
And it definitely does not feel random - when you finally beat a section of the level, it's because you understood the physics, the right timing, and it's very rewarding.
Even though some of the graphics could use a bit more polish (e.g. the fonts, or the color palette), don't let them put you off. This is a really fun game and well worth its price.
Note: At the time of its release the controls were quite frustrating, with lack of mid-air control making the game harder than it ought to be. This way quickly improved based on player feedback, the developer is very responsive and obviously put a lot of love in this game.

This is a quite good game if you love challenge (timing plataforming) and good level design. Expect to die a lot, but at the same time you'll be learning and mastering the layout, to the point where things won't be so hard anymore, which is a lot rewarding in the end!

My review is just an 30 minute game play opinion.
Basic breakdown:
Does the game do what it sets out to be?
Yes. It is a simple puzzle platform game.
Visuals - Although not visually entertaining as much as art goes, it does give the minimum needed to be enjoyed to play the game.
Sound - Basic sound effects.
Music - Generic looped music.
Controls - Keyboard and gamepad. Can keybind.
Game modes - Just one. Single player.
Achievements - None.
Steam cards - None.
UI - Very basic, looks like what I had on my old TRS-80. Yet, gives you the info you need.
Replay value - Somewhat. Only if you want to beat your previous time for a given room.
My score rating - 4.5/10
Price evaluation - Easily a game for under 0.99.

Do Not Underestimate The Simple Design of this Game, I Have Played Some of the Hardest Games Around, and this Absolutly Made Me Rage, it is Fun Exciting and Entertaining, Not something for a Person with a Heart Condition to Pick Up. Lolz
