Stick It

Make the sport playable

Stick It is a gymnastics career game built around vault, bars, beam and floor. A player creates a gymnast, learns skills, practises routines, enters meets and earns ribbons and wardrobe items.

The product combines the feel of the sport with an accessible game: animated gymnasts, recognisable movements, touch inputs and difficulty/execution scoring.

The first session needed a path

A career game can have plenty to do and still leave a new player wondering where to start. A guided path now introduces the first lesson and practice across the apparatus before opening the wider meet and progression loop.

Recent control work moved towards thumb-based interactions, including alternating taps and a beam pad. The learning challenge should come from the routine, not from decoding an unfamiliar control scheme.

A game that works before it needs a network

Solo play keeps progress locally and supports offline use. Players can practise skills, customise their gymnast and work through the career without signing into an account.

Optional friend features add private-code play and multiplayer modes. There is no open stranger chat, advertising or in-app purchase system. The core product is the game and its progression.

Where it stands

Stick It is live and playable in a browser. Current work is refining onboarding, controls, routines and reward pacing. The screenshots use a fictional gymnast in a fresh local game; they do not expose a family profile or an online room.
