Stickman Downhill 5.0

Vehicle controlling games are always interesting as they offer you the chance to do experiments with the controls without putting anything on the line. There are a number of games which conditions tough to begin with and then let you totally free with the controls. The basic idea is to try a few different techniques and to see how much control can be exerted with the vehicle in full acceleration mode. The terrains in such games also offer a great challenge and sometimes the player must show skill and restraint in order to go further in the game. Stickman Downhill is a downhill game cut from the same cloth and offers endearing scenarios and devastating results for the entertainment of its players.
The Stickman Downhill game has a simple home screen which contains a menu containing all of its features. You can decide to get started with the game right away or choose to change the controls or the music through the homepage. You can also take a look at your achievements and the global leaderboards to get an idea of where you are at with respect to other players.

The downhill game's gaming section starts off with the selection of the terrain in which you want to play. There are a total of 11 different stages with each stage requiring a certain number of stars to be collected while playing the game in order to be unlocked. The beginner stage is unlocked to begin with and as you play the game, you gather more stars and unlock further stages. You can also go to the garage in order to select the bike that you want to use while playing the game. There are a total of 18 different types of bikes with each bike offering a great mix between acceleration, brakes and agility. Depending on the terrain, you can select the bikes after unlocking them so as to have the appropriate vehicle for every stage. Once you have selected the stage and the bike, you can move on to choose between the ten terrains offered in each stage. There are three stars available in each terrain and you will get it if you complete the terrain within a specific time period.

The rules of the downhill game are very simple. You simply need to cover the terrain in the shortest time possible while ensuring that the biker stays on the bike and doesn't lose control. The high jumps and the uphill/downhill terrains normally mean that you need to adjust the speed as well as the direction in order to keep the biker on the bike. Failure to do so leads to gruesome and funny accidents whereby the body of the biker disintegrates into smaller pieces.

The gameplay is interesting and simple and offers a solid challenge as you pass on to better levels. The controls are easy and simple and translate very well on screen. The graphics are obviously childish but it is a given seeing that the main character is the stickman. The only aspect of the game which is a bit annoying is the background music which doesn't really go in line with the gameplay and is normally too loud.

Features:

• Smooth gameplay with nice controls
• Hilarious graphics and animations
• Vast variety of levels and terrains available
• Good selection of bikes available
• Customizable controls

Conclusion:

Stickman Downhill is a fun and entertaining downhill game which can prove to be a good time-pass. If you are bored and want to try your hand at controlling a speeding bike which has a stickman at the helm, you can rest assured that you won't be disappointed.
