For this stick it to the stickman guide, learn your move sequence before chasing flashy attacks. Keep enemies on one side, create space with knockback or launchers, and preserve health by using hazards and ranged pressure.
Start Strong
Your attacks cycle through the moves shown at the bottom of the screen. Using the highlighted move advances the sequence, so the order matters as much as the individual attacks.
- Use a launcher, stun, or ranged attack to create an opening.
- Follow with a heavier attack when enemies are separated.
- Jump on enemies to disrupt positioning or push them toward hazards.
- Avoid getting trapped between enemy groups.
- Use windows, drops, machinery, and other hazards when available.
Defeating enemies earns experience. When the experience bar fills, a promotion can add a move, improve an existing move, or provide passive and stat-style bonuses.
Build a Reliable Sequence
A character starts with a small move set, usually three to five moves. Promotions can add many of the same moves, so an opening kit does not permanently define a build.
| Role | Examples |
|---|---|
| Opener | Forward Kick, Jump Kick, Roll |
| Crowd control | Roundhouse Kick, Spin Kick, Stampede Kick |
| Heavy impact | Serious Punch, Karate Strike, Uppercut |
| Ranged pressure | Gun, Shuriken, Knife Throw, Hadouken |
| Utility | Roll, Drink Coffee, Gossip |
Alternate control and damage when possible. A knockback move can stop a rush, a ranged move can punish the gap, and a heavy hit can finish a nearby target. Two slow attacks in a row can leave you exposed.
Before taking a move or upgrade, ask whether it fixes poor range, weak crowd control, or low damage against sturdy enemies. Consider whether it works safely against groups and whether its later upgrade forms are worth pursuing.
Survive Longer Runs
Company expansion makes the finance-office climb longer and harder. Enemies become tougher, some resist knockback, and some can interrupt or lock down your character.
- Move toward open space when a crowd closes in.
- Separate groups before focusing a tough enemy.
- Favor environmental kills and ranged damage when health is limited.
- Push enemies toward drops, windows, and hazards on narrow platforms.
- Learn a boss or roadblock enemy's approach pattern before committing attacks.
The rooftop boss is a major progression milestone. Dense enemy rooms and special threats can still cost more health than the boss, so do not waste attacks into bad spacing.
Other Jobs and Unlocks
Training, the fulfillment center, night shift content, rating battles, and later company developments offer different goals. The fulfillment center emphasizes movement and delivery, using ledge grabs, slides, short wall climbs, dashes, and wall jumps.
Character unlocks change starting moves and quirks, but promotions still let you adapt. In expansion content, focused mastery choices can support a build; several blunt weapons, for example, benefit from blunt mastery more than an unrelated bonus.
Is It Worth It?
Yes, if you enjoy improving through better sequencing and positioning. A successful run depends less on button mashing than on controlling crowds, choosing upgrades with purpose, and treating losses as information for the next run.
FAQ
