Breaking the Bank is the legendary point-and-click comedy game that launched the Henry Stickmin saga. Developed by PuffballsUnited, this cartoon-style adventure follows the titular stick figure protagonist, Henry Stickmin, on his first heist. Standing before a heavily guarded bank vault in the middle of an empty desert, Henry must find a way to infiltrate the security and steal the fortune inside.
The game plays out as a series of choices where you select from six different tools. Each option triggers a fully animated scenario detailing Henry's attempt. While the primary objective is to succeed, the real joy of the game comes from exploring all the creative, unexpected, and hilarious ways each attempt can fail.
Controls
- Mouse/Touch: Click or tap on one of the six icons on the screen to choose a tool and watch the animated scene play out.
The Six Choices
- Shovel: Henry tries to dig his way under the wall, but runs into a gas pipe.
- Teleporter: A high-tech gadget that sends Henry into a very unexpected and solid location.
- Laser Drill: A powerful tool designed to cut through the vault door, though it behaves unpredictably.
- Disguise: Henry hides inside a money bag to sneak past the guards in the delivery truck.
- Explosives: Placing TNT by the wall seems straightforward, but detonating it from a distance is another story.
- Wrecking Ball: Attempting to smash through the building with heavy machinery backfires quickly.
Though only one choice successfully gets Henry inside the vault, his triumph is short-lived. The ending sequence leads directly to his arrest, setting the stage for the sequel, Escaping the Prison. Breaking the Bank is a quick, highly entertaining experience that runs directly in your web browser with no installation required.
