The ***Stikman Scratch* series** is a sub-series of the *Stikman* series developed and produced by Chikorita Lover, consisting of all four *Stikman* games released on Scratch: *Stikman Scratch*, *Cactufine Fight*, *Stikman's Baseball Tournament*, *Stikman's Legend*, and the currently unreleased *Stikman RPG*. Whether or not there is a connection between the games in the series is unknown, but appears to be unlikely.

## Series entries

### *Stikman Scratch*

> *Main article: Stikman Scratch*

*Stikman Scratch* was the first game released in the *Stikman Scratch* series, released on March 31, 2018. It started as a single-room platformer, but eventually became a scrolling platformer months later. The main story consists of Stikman's Golden Sticks being stolen by the Devil Dancers, and Stikman attempting to track down the Devilship.

Currently, *Stikman Scratch* only has six levels, all of which are short. Bridge to the Jungle is the only level in the game's second world, Deep Jungle of Esmara, and serves as the final level before a displaying thank-you message to the player.

### *Cactufine Fight*

*Cactufine Fight* is a currently unfinished *Stikman Scratch* series game that is largely inspired by *Undertale*, featuring Cactufine as the main enemy fought. The player dodges attacks in a similar manner to *Undertale*, but the game is currently impossible to complete.

*Cactufine Fight* is currently in version 0.1.0, and an update has been considered but not confirmed. Possible features that would be added include an explorable map, more enemies and items, multiple party members, and a "larger experience."

### *Stikman's Baseball Tournament*

*Stikman's Baseball Tournament* is a spin-off *Stikman Scratch* series game released on Christmas 2018. The game features Stikman, Stikgirl, and Stike as playable characters, and consists of the player playing at least three innings of baseball with a computer player.

*Stikman's Baseball Tournament* is, similar to *Cactufine Fight*, in version 0.1.0, and is, at some point, receiving an update to improve gameplay, add more characters and stages, and possibly a two-player mode as well.

### *Stikman's Legend*

> *Main article: Stikman's Legend*

*Stikman's Legend* is the fourth and final *Stikman Scratch* series game, initially released on September 21, 2019. The game is inspired by *The Legend of Zelda* and features Stikman as the main protagonist and playable character, who attempts to obtain three plates of Golden Sticks to escape Mount Madeline. The game consists of many different enemies and several different boss enemies, each with unique stats and attacks.

*Stikman's Legend* received a version 1.0.0 update on September 28, 2020, which improved the game to what it currently is today. The initial release of it only had one boss enemy, Handboss, which is currently the first boss enemy in the game, as well as a different map.

## Trivia

* Whether or not a fifth game will be released in the *Stikman Scratch* series is unknown.
* It is unknown as to whether or not *Stikman RPG*, a presumably cancelled *Stikman Scratch* game, will ever be continued or even released.
* Two of the main game mechanics present in nearly every *Stikman Scratch* series games are minerals and weapons, which are used for defensive and offensive purposes, respectively. The only *Stikman Scratch* game to not feature these mechanics is *Stikman's Baseball Tournament*.
* Chikorita Lover has mentioned the idea of a *Stikman Scratch* collection, possibly as a joke.
