Fall Red Stickman is a stickman platformer that focuses on ragdoll physics. The player must attempt to pulverize the bones inside a red stickman wearing a gray ball cap across ten levels of unique, deadly environments. They can only reach a new environment by earning enough damage points, represented as stars, to unlock each one. They must earn at least 1,000 points to access the second level and 40,000 points to access the last one. The game also allows them to earn points by watching ads.
The gameplay is simplistic. The player interacts with a right-arrow, play-style button to prompt the character to walk toward a drop-off zone that leads down stairs and chasms. The player can also use their star points to pay for nine boosters that help them increase the chances of the stickman breaking more bones. For example, they can buy an up arrow that makes the stickman float into the air so that he drops from a higher height, a banana peel to make him slip, and a bomb to cause an explosion.
That said, Fall Red Stickman provides plenty of basic, deadly traps that effortlessly break bones. Obstacles include steep black stairs, slopes, cliffs with ledges, spikes, and rotating saw and fan blades. These traps, combined with the boosters and ragdoll physics, force the stickman to flip, slide and bounce around, which causes impacts against different areas of his body.
