Stick Man Rescue Action Arcade Game Arriving in January for PSP Minis

Developer and publisher TikGames has announced that it is working on a new action arcade game called Stick Man Rescue that will be launched on the PlayStation Portable handheld using the Mini program from Sony.

The game allows players to pilot a troop transport copter through a number of levels littered with danger, trying to rescue a set number of stick men from such traps as electrocution, smashing, being blown up or dissolved by acid.

Alex Tikhman, who is the co-founder and vice president of Publishing & Business Development at TikGames, added, “I know I’m not the only guy who grew up drawing stick men on fire, falling off cliffs, or landing on spikes.”

He added, “Back then, I wanted to make a video game out of it. Today, we’ve made a lot of people’s morbid stick-dreams finally come true with Stick Man Rescue. Of course, people will want to save the stick men like they’re supposed to, not kill them, right? Right?”

Stick Man Rescue will be offered to PlayStation Plus subscribers on January 4 in Europe and on January 10 in North America, with normal PSN account holders getting it towards the end of the month.
