Stikir

About

Stikir is a puzzle platformer where you manipulate the game's own construction to progress. Each level acts as a stage in the game's development process letting you tweak environments code and physics to solve challenges. You'll shift between playing the game and editing its blueprints figuring out how to bend rules you didn't know existed. The controls feel responsive but the learning curve can be sharp as abstract concepts take time to click. What makes Stikir memorable is its meta design approach treating game creation as a puzzle mechanic. The 75 minute campaign packs a punch with its clever use of paradoxes and self referential challenges though some find the difficulty spikes frustrating. A small but dedicated player base praises its originality with several levels making it onto indie platformer recommendation lists.
