Stickman Maze Run

Stickman Maze Run is a fast, skill-based platformer set inside maze-like levels where the goal is always clear: reach the exit before the traps—or your opponent—stop you. You can tackle the course alone to sharpen your movement, play co-op on the same device to help each other through tight sections, or jump into a local two-player race where every shortcut and mistake matters. With quick restarts and increasing challenge, it’s the kind of game that rewards clean jumps, smart routes, and calm timing under pressure.

How the maze running works

Each level is a compact obstacle course built around platforming fundamentals: running, jumping, climbing walls, and threading through hazards. The exit is your objective, but the best path isn’t always the most obvious one. Some routes are safer but slower, while others are risky speed lines that can win races if you execute them well.

The controls are designed to be simple so the challenge comes from timing and decision-making rather than complicated inputs.

• Single Player: Move with WASD or Arrow Keys
• Two Player (local): P1 uses Arrow Keys, P2 uses WASD

Game modes that change the pace

Solo runs

Single player is all about consistency. You can learn how each maze is shaped, practice wall climbs, and improve your finish times by taking cleaner lines. This mode is ideal for mastering difficult sections without the pressure of keeping up with another player.

Co-op on one device

In co-op, communication becomes a mechanic. Calling out safe routes, warning about tricky jumps, and coordinating movement through narrow passages helps you finish levels more reliably. It’s also a great way to introduce a new player to platform movement without turning every attempt into a race.

Two-player race

Versus mode turns every obstacle into a tactical choice. Do you take the safe jump to avoid falling, or attempt the faster wall-climb route to gain a lead? Small delays add up, so clean execution and smart pathing win more often than risky improvisation.

Core mechanics and standout features

• Platform movement: Run and jump with responsive handling designed for quick reactions.
• Wall climbing: Use vertical surfaces to reach higher routes, bypass hazards, or recover from mistakes.
• Obstacle timing: Many sections reward patience—waiting a beat can be faster than failing twice.
• Maze navigation: Levels are structured like mazes, encouraging route selection rather than a single straight path.
• Local multiplayer: Play together or compete on the same computer for instant, couch-style fun.
• Unlockable skins: Customize your stickman with fun looks to make your character stand out in races.

Tips to escape faster (and win more races)

• Scout before you sprint: In a new level, take the first run to learn where the maze branches and which routes are dead ends.
• Prioritize clean landings: A controlled landing keeps momentum. Wild jumps may look faster but often lead to slips and resets.
• Use wall climbs as recovery tools: Even if you miss a jump, check for walls you can climb to save the run instead of restarting.
• In two-player, play to your strengths: If your opponent takes risky shortcuts, a steady, safe route can win by simply avoiding big mistakes.
• Communicate in co-op: Call out tricky spots and take turns attempting difficult sections if one player is struggling.
