About Stick With It
Stick With It is an indie sport game from Part Time Monkey, released in October 2025 for PC. It’s a single-player challenge where you use a pogo stick to navigate obstacles and climb upward. The premise is straightforward but brutally difficult: reach the top without checkpoints. Controls are minimal, mouse to tilt, space to jump, but execution requires precision. The game leans into frustration as a core mechanic, punishing missteps with endless respawns. It’s a test of reflexes and perseverance, wrapped in a minimalist aesthetic. If you’ve ever wondered what a pogo stick platformer would feel like if it hated you, this is it.
Gameplay
You’ll spend hours tilting your mouse to balance, timing jumps to launch off trampolines, and calculating trajectories to swing between platforms. Every move feels precarious; one miscalculation sends you plummeting back to the start. The lack of checkpoints means progress is measured in small victories, landing a tricky swing, chaining bounces, or clearing a gap. Sessions often end in rage-quit moments as much as they do in quiet triumph. The simplicity of controls contrasts sharply with the complexity of execution, making each successful climb feel earned. It’s a game that demands patience, not just skill.
What Players Think
Despite no checkpoints or hand-holding, 68% of PlayPile players finish the game, averaging 4.2 hours. Community moods are split: 42% frustration, 33% determination, 25% satisfaction. Reviews highlight the “brutal but fair” difficulty, with one user writing, “I hated every second until I finally made it.” The game holds a 7.1/10 critic score, praised for its addictive challenge but criticized for repetitive level design. 12% of players unlock all achievements, with the hardest requiring a flawless run through the final ascent.
PlayPile's Take
Stick With It is a punishing but rewarding climb for masochists who thrive in high-difficulty games. At $19.99, it’s cheap therapy for those who enjoy mastering mechanics through repeated failure. The lack of save points will test your sanity, but the sense of accomplishment is undeniable. Skip if you dislike restarts or need hand-holding. For the rest? This game will make you question life choices, but you’ll keep coming back.
