Our titled genre makes up a huge niche in the world of free online games, but where did they get their start? A key to this was Stickdeath because it went viral before there was such a thing as viral. This site had a lot to do with how stickman games really took off. Even though stickdeath has went way downhill since it’s first inception (we don’t recommend it anymore), back in the day, it was a unique and funny way to pass the time. At any rate, it’s within reason to say that after a while of people watching the heck out of these videos with easily animated stickmen being killed in every way possible, those people who knew the art of programming decided to take the leap and evolve stick death from simple flash videos to stickman games.
You can only spend so much time watching stick death videos, but just think of the possibilities if you put stickmen in games! You can play a game once, or you could play it again and again, getting more and more points, and attempting to rank scores. On top of that you don’t just watch the stickmen die, you get to have a hand in the ordeal. Now let’s compare where we find stickman videos with where we can find stickman games.
Where do you find stickman vids? If you are looking for any amount of humor or a sense of quality, you have to go to the site I just mentioned above. That is about as far as you can go. But if you want to find high quality stickman games, all you have to do is an online search, and you will find an overabundance of great websites ready to satisfy your stick person needs. So it is quite evident that while stickmen caught our attention and ruled the internet through the medium of video for a season, they have done bored people everywhere a huge favor and have advanced themselves onward to games. Lots and lots of games. So if you are ever bored at home, work, or school, find yourself some stickman games and be entertained by how well simple animation and gruesome cartoon style deaths go together so well to waste your time and make you grin.
Now how do stickman games compare to other games that you can find for free and in large quantities on the internet? Without doing some in depth study or doing a lot of research, we may not know for sure, but where there is a demand for a product or service, there will be people out there to supply what is needed. Besides, stickmen make a very general category within the gaming community.
There are no trademarked characters here. This means that the sky’s the limit on who can make stickman games and the sheer volume of games and types involved because there is no one person or company that owns the rights to the word stickman. Therefore, nobody has to tiptoe around and try not to infringe on sensitive material when they are just trying to come up with a cool idea for a goofy flash game for people to waste time on. So now we have a very broad sense of why stickman games have come into existence and how they can compete with the other, very different categories of free games out there just waiting for you on the web. With this in mind, I would like to encourage you to find as many of these games as you possibly can and have fun!
