Sticks & Stones is a pseudo-futuristic reality show where you’re a contestant. To win you have fight curious looking enemies called Holo-balls and defeat the final boss.

Alone and with nothing on you but your wits, the adventure begins in a forest where you’ll have to survive while you plan and prepare yourself for combat.

Although there is a definite amount of types of stages, they're procedurally generated with each new play. This way, the player's not only unable to memorize them, but is also getting a new gameplay experience each time.

There's a simple but unusual crafting system based on the combining of ingredients plus tools, which allows the player to fight against the Holo-balls.

Finally, the survival mechanic, through thirst and hunger, pressures the player for action at all times.

Pause

News 1 comment

Hi everybody. It's with a heavy heart that we regret to inform that starting today we're halting all development of Sticks & Stones. The budget we had turned out to be not enough for the game we had in mind, and even though we honestly gave our all, we were unable to overcome some external circumstances that went against us. Sometimes it's like that.

It's not an ending but a pause, and we'll hope to find budget and time to continue. Many thanks to all of you for the comments, videos and kind words during these months. It was an amazing experience. We hope to see you again soon.

Como el equipo de desarrollo es es español, lo escribiré en español.
No parece un proyecto ambicioso, al menos no por su apariencia, sus gráficos (que no es lo más importante de un juego, pero la gente le da mucha importancia) son tremendamente simples, que no sería algo malo si estuviese `vivo´.Criticar un juego es bastante complicado, aún el hacerlo y se nota por la manera de craftear que eso es lo que más ha recibido atención. A mi parecer el menú de crafteo está bien, solo que al ser tan transparente se confunde con el entorno y causa malentendidos (y esto hablando del tutorial, no me quiero ni imaginar cómo sería en un entorno con otra paleta de colores) un sencillo arreglo bastará y no tengo más pegas en ese aspecto, mis nueves y medios para vosotros oye.
Pero sigo teniendo la sensación de que le falta magia, no sé cómo explicarlo, hay juegos que en su sencillez está su encanto, minecraft (que es un ejemplo maravilloso) son todo cubos y exprime esa sencillez hasta el infinito, pero no siento lo mismo aquí. Se nota que el juego está hecho con mucho cariño y esfuerzo, pero hace falta escuchar como `tu bebé´se hace mayor y tiene que cambiar para adaptarse a su entorno, el jugador mismo debe sentir ese cariño y además sentirse que él tiene que cambiar para ganar. Ardo en deseos de ver el juego terminado porque tiene mucho potencial, pero para eso, necesita más desarrollo. Mis más sincera enhorabuena, no siempre se ve un juego con tanto por exprimir. (Es como una piedra que se puede hacer diamante ¿pillas el chiste? ¿no? ok ya paro)
