Stickman Racing

A side-on lap racer with stunt jumps built into the circuits. There is a lap to complete and there are ramps that reward flips — and because a failed landing costs far more time than a flip earns, the fast line and the showy line are genuinely different choices rather than the same one. The physics are simple and consistent: lean affects the landing, momentum carries through jumps, and a bad landing stops you almost completely. That makes the decision about each ramp a real calculation, and the best lap times come from taking flips only where the landing is flat and long. Lap layouts repeat, so learning a circuit changes which ramps are worth attempting. There is a progression of circuits and unlockable skins earned through times and stunt points. Races last a couple of minutes, restarting is immediate, and the difficulty rises through circuit design rather than through opponents. It plays with four inputs on a keyboard or on-screen buttons and runs on anything. Straightforward, readable and well suited to short sessions.
