Let me talk about the conclusion first. This stand-alone fighting game of Stickman Brawl is my source of happiness on the subway recently. It is outrageous that it is free and does not require an Internet connection. During the morning rush hour, I can rub my cell phone while holding it upright. I can hold the railing with my left hand and hit the stick figure on the other side with a single finger of my right hand. I feel like I'm the one who's responsible and I'm responsible for the headshot. It's much better than when I was dumped in a meeting at the company.
As a 996 social worker who commutes for 2 hours every day, I understand the pain of players like us all too well. If you want to play with a bit of punch, you end up either waiting two minutes for each round to load, or you match your handle to the boss and get killed in seconds. A purely local stand-alone game like Stickman Brawl is really like an oasis in the desert. Winning or losing all depends on your own hand speed. Network fluctuations and teammates hanging up will be a big deal. I usually open the sandbox mode when I have 20 minutes left in my lunch break, and watch hundreds of stick figures beating each other violently. The scene is more magical than the cakes drawn by my boss. Turning up the sound a little can decompress it to the point of flying. During the lunch break in the office, other people use TikTok, but I am the one making the goose call.
But a word of warning, don't just look at the name of it and think that you need to remember combos. The skills are all based on eating props dropped on the map. You can just throw rocks, sticks, etc. everywhere. In the late stages of my handicap, I couldn't even make a move in the King of Fighters, but now I can still beat the opponent's mother without even recognizing him by relying on the random punches of running with the wind and in any direction. One thing to say, the full 3D modeling is really interesting. The physical effect of the stick figure being beaten is very realistic. It directly cures my problem of not being able to see my own character being beaten, but watching the NPC being beaten makes me feel physically and mentally comfortable.
I have become successful in time management, and now I put it on my agenda every day. In the past, I had to wait until I got home from work and collapsed in bed before I could open the game. Now I secretly play a "morning wake-up game" as soon as I get to my desk. The duration is only three minutes, which is just shorter than our company's morning meeting. When my boss saw my happy face, he thought I was seriously working on the weekly report. The most important thing is that it does not have the kind of daily tasks and physical system, and there is no anxiety that I will lose 100 million if I don't go online. When I get tired, I can just click to close the background, and I can stop and leave at any time. It is especially suitable for unlucky people like us who are suddenly called to a meeting to change the plan after get off work. 😤
Finally, I would like to recommend you a magic usage: when calculating overtime hours, open the single-player mode. Every time you finish a round, it will be regarded as winning another round. It is much more fulfilling than counting the time to get off work in Excel. Anyway, this game is free and does not take up memory. If you install it on your mobile phone, you will not be afraid of the boss suddenly inspecting it and seeing that the interface is too gorgeous. It is low-key and connotative. It is an Android version of the fishing guide. If you're like me and want to have fun fighting without getting too tired, this game will do the trick. Okay, let's not talk anymore. I just played for another three minutes. Now I'm going back to being a social beast. 💼🕹️
