What makes a good fighting game? Usually a block or dodge system, distinct characters or fighters and rounds and rematches — and Mr Bow has each of them in some measure. The skills it leans on are timing and reading opponents; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks
- Learn to block before you learn to combo. A player who cannot be hit cannot lose, and everything else follows from that.
- Special moves are best used to finish a combo or a round, not to open one.
- Spacing is a weapon. Stand just outside the opponent's reach and inside your own, and let them come to you.
- Jumping is a commitment. Do it to escape or to surprise, never as a default movement.
- Because this is a Stickman game, stickman games are forgiving about looks and strict about timing.
