The best stick it to the stickman tips are to learn your attack order, avoid being surrounded, and use knockback, range, and hazards to control fights. Build each combo with a purpose instead of choosing only the strongest-looking moves. Preserve health early, because later rooms and longer climbs are much less forgiving.

Fight With Positioning

  • Do not stand in the middle of a group; even weak coworkers are dangerous from both sides.
  • Keep enemies on one side whenever possible, then create space with knockback, launchers, or ranged attacks.
  • Against one durable enemy, use direct damage and launchers to maintain pressure.
  • When an enemy is near a hazard, knock or throw them toward it to deal damage without risking your health.
  • At low health, fight from range and avoid trading hits.

Jumping is also a repositioning tool. Landing on enemies can disrupt their position or push them downward, helping send them into hazards, off ledges, or into a better place for your next move.

Learn the Attack Sequence

Each attack uses the currently highlighted move, then rotates to the next one. Arrange moves so the useful tool arrives when you need it.

  • Start with a fast, dependable close attack.
  • Follow with a launcher or knockback move to break up crowds.
  • Use a ranged move after creating space instead of chasing enemies.
  • Add stun or control when enemies reach you before attacks finish.
  • Reserve heavy finishers for favorable exchanges.

A reliable sequence alternates risk and safety: short-range strike, knockback, then a ranged attack or launcher.

Choose Promotions for Weaknesses

Promotions can offer character effects, new moves, or upgrades to moves already in your sequence. Individual moves can be upgraded twice, and later upgrades may substantially change how they work.

  • Upgrade moves you use constantly, not just flashy ones.
  • Add range when groups are a problem.
  • Add control when enemies interrupt your attacks.
  • Favor health-related bonuses when a run is fragile.
  • Reroll only if none of the choices solves a real weakness.

Weapon and mastery choices should match your current attacks. Shared damage categories can reward a focused build, while bonuses for multiple unique masteries can support a varied loadout.

Use Slow Motion Carefully

Use A and D to move, W to jump or climb, S to descend ladders, and Space or Z to attack with the highlighted move. X activates slow motion after unlocking it.

Save slow motion for crowded rooms, dangerous jumps, and projectile-heavy encounters. Avoiding one hit can preserve an entire run.

Progress Without Rushing

The office climb teaches core combat, promotions, bosses, and progression. Training provides a controlled place to learn movement and mechanics, while the fulfillment center tests package delivery platforming with rooms, upgrades, and shops.

Practice ledge grabs, slides, wall jumps, climbing, dashing, and package handling before prioritizing speed. Look ahead for ladders, drops, enemies, and package destinations. Sliding can build speed, but an uncontrolled landing may cost more time and health than a shortcut saves.

Is It Worth It?

Yes, if you treat every run as a build and positioning challenge. Damage matters, but endurance, movement, crowd control, and health preservation matter more as climbs become longer.
