Nearly every child that had to suffer through an otherwise unbearable school session can recall the numerous, embattled stick figures that they had drawn as the school hours droned on -- or, at least, I can. TikGames attempts to pull from these simplistic-yet-innovative concepts that were initially born out of our boredom; in their upcoming PSP game, Stick Man Rescue, players will attempt to save stickmen from horrible deaths involving our favorite stick-murder mechanisms: fire, acid pits, enemy stickmen, electrical doom, explosions, and other equally-deadly alternatives.
Here are the features we've been told of so far:
- Thirty Action-Packed, Brain-Busting Levels: Each level is progressively more complex and dangerous than the last. Use your guns AND your brains to save all the stick men.
- Classic Stick Man Deaths: Will you save them all, or will they be burned alive, smashed, decapitated, blown up, electrocuted, dissolved by acid, or what?
- Power Up Your Copter: To thwart the Evil Blue Stick Minions, you’ll need to grab missiles, flame throwers, and more.
- Evil Blue Stick Minions: They’re armed to the teeth and ready to kill your stick men with tanks, zeppelins, paratroopers, and even steam rollers.
We've been told that the game should be expected for release on January 24th for North American PSP users, January 18th for European PSP users, and PlayStation Plus subscribers gaining access as early as January 4th (Europe) or January 10th (NA).
