This does look interesting, will download though may not have time to play today. Physics are great - it's nice to play something that gets you thinking. Thanks for the today's offer and thorough review, Mr. Whiterabbit. Cheers.

I was hoping to updating the limited giveaway review for the OMON Simulator today as it was supposed to be released around 4pm on the 27th September after its original release was cancelled a week ago. It's still not been released on Steam, so I'm not able to complete the review before the competition ended earlier today (Friday at 10pm UK time - 5pm US Eastern Time). if you logged in every day you have approximately a 45% chance of winning a key for the police crowd control simulator. :)

Watch out for more mid week games next week. We have six more games on top of the usual weekend giveaways. Looking at them, some look promising, so do check back between Monday and Friday next week.

The latest games available over on Epic Games include my favorite post apocalyptic shooter 'Metro 2033 Redux' (A re-skinned version of the original release), and 'Everything' a reality simulation. you'll find them both HERE until the 3rd October when they change to Minit a sixty second adventure recommended by Jim Sterling, who holds no punches and tells it as it is when reviewing games.

Stickman Road Draw 2

In Brief

Stickman Road Draw 2 is not only a physics based game, its one of those where to survive you have to draw lines over obstacles to get to the end of the level. It's also known as Stickman Racer Road Draw 2 on Steam and you can see several game play videos below. If you miss this excellent (IMO) giveaway you can pick it up via Steam for only £0.79/$0.99 HERE. 2019

Introduction:

Stickman Racer Road Draw 2 is a legendary survival game where you have to do cool stunts on different vehicles. The game is made in the best traditions of simulators with elements of ragdoll physics. Perform cool jumps and stunts and mercilessly destroy the enemy! Your task is to reach the finish line alive or dead!

The Game:

Seriously, if you enjoy these rag-doll physics based games, of the four stickman games we've seen so far (including today's), this is the best of the bunch. It has loads of different vehicles to choose from, most are locked initially, but you can choose one of four categories from the outset, a motorcycle (moped/scooter), car (mini), Truck (comer van), or an all terrain vehicle (SUV). Those in brackets are just the first of many vehicles you'll unlock as you progress, each one has a different power, speed, fuel capacity and suspension, so no two attempts are going to be the same. There are fourteen distinct levels each with its own peculiarities and have names like Road of Fury (the first level), Crusade, Zombies, Tornado, Backwards, Top Gear and Sea wolf to name a few. All but the first level 'Road to Fury' are locked. To unlock levels you need to earn gold, which is picked up much like you pick up gold in one of those early platform games, just run over a gold piece to collect it. You also may require extra fuel, which can also be picked up and finally collect body parts from Stickmen that you may encounter on your way to the end of the level. If you fail, you can either restart the level from the beginning, or carry on from where you crashed. If you choose the latter, you don't keep any of your stats earned before the crash, instead they start from where you restarted. When you end a level, or crash the stats presented are distance traveled, time in the air, body parts collected and the number of coins you've collected as well as bonus gold. There are different skins available for the stickman, but I've not got far enough in to find any. These include skins such a spider man, deadpool.

Game play Videos:

You can see several videos of game play HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and you can play the original Line Rider (browser version) HERE, plus loads of those adobe flash sites include various versions of the concept. Today's free standing giveaway version is in my opinion one of the better ones, so grab it while you can.

Conclusion:

By far the best Stickman game given away here so far. It's got everything you need to enjoy a challenging and fun physics based inde game. It's cheap, so don't expect ultra superb graphics, but the style fits the game. Reminds me a little of those linerider games released about 10-11 years ago. There's a free online version called FreeRider HERE and you can play the original Line Rider via your browser HERE. The second one was originally released on Steam, but has since been removed.
