Stickman Warriors Game

Under the "Stickman Warriors" name, this one is a rope-cutting physics puzzle, not a fighting game. Each of its 50 levels drops a stick figure into a small scene built from ropes, cages, seesaws and paper platforms, and your only tool is a pair of scissors: snip the right string and gravity does the rest, swinging boxes out of the way, dropping a cage floor, or tipping a seesaw until your character lands safely on the goal.

The catch is that scissors are limited per level. Cut the wrong rope first and you can strand a box out of reach or drop your character somewhere he can't climb out of, forcing a level restart. Most levels reward a few seconds of looking at the whole scene before your first cut rather than snipping the nearest string on sight.

Controls

Tap or click a rope or string to cut it with your scissors. That's the entire input — there's no movement key, since your character only reacts to what you cut loose around him.

Tips

• Look at the whole scene before cutting anything — later ropes often depend on an earlier one being cut in the right order.
• Scissors are capped per level, so save a cut rather than using one just to see what happens.
• If you run out of scissors, most levels offer a way to earn one more by watching a short video rather than restarting outright.

It plays in short bursts and suits anyone who likes rope-cutting puzzle games such as Cut the Rope more than it suits anyone expecting the versus-fighting game its name implies.
