Interesting facts about Henry Stickmin legacy series

Henry’s mission isn’t always noble. In fact, sometimes it involves chaos, deception, or just theft. In Stealing the Diamond, Henry attempts to steal the legendary Tunisian Diamond, sometimes also grabbing the Romanian Ruby if you make the right moves in the museum Henry route. Yes, he steals the diamond, or fails hilariously in the attempt.

In Breaking the Bank, Henry first dips his toes into a life of crime, using multiple tools to pull off a heist. Spoiler: none of them work, unless you’re extremely lucky. This is where the series of games kicks off.

The games in the Henry Stickmin series are nonlinear; every choice matters. Whether you're escaping the prison, trying to infiltrate the airship, or choosing to join or betray the Toppat Clan leader, what happens next is completely up to your choices. Want Henry to become a bounty hunter? Or maybe escape to a space resort using a rocket from the launch site? All options are on the table.

Charles Calvin, a key character in the series, is beloved for his clumsy heroism and meme-worthy lines like "Just... doin’ a flip." Depending on how you play, he can be Henry's most loyal ally—or not make it out alive.

Each Henry Stickmin game features dozens of creative “fails” and successful outcomes. The player can choose from different tools, disguises, and absurd gadgets like teleports, anti-gravity hats, and even mind control. Every route feels like its own mini-story.

Created by Marcus Bromander, the Henry Stickmin legacy series is a shining example of how simple stickman games can tell complex, hilarious, and sometimes surprisingly emotional stories.

The remastered version in the collection on Steam not only updates the art but also adds achievements, secret endings, and new content that wasn’t in the previous games. It's no surprise it’s rated Overwhelmingly Positive.

While Henry may be just a stick figure, he’s one of the most dynamic and replayable protagonists in gaming. Whether he ends up a hero, a criminal, or the Toppat Clan leader, it’s all about the choices Henry makes—and the ones you make for him.
