A Survival Game
Cards. Consequences. Chaos. Welcome to survival the dumb way.
Manage desperate stickmen, make tough choices, and try not to starve in a bunker full of bad decisions.
A Survival Game is a card-based survival strategy game where chaos is your co-pilot. Command a crew of slightly clueless stickmen in a totally safe (not really) bunker and try to outlast a world that’s falling apart faster than your patience.
YOUR MISSION?
Don’t die. (Ideally.) But also:
- Manage vanishing resources like food and courage
- Send your stickmen to fight monsters with bad tempers and worse breath
- Use a card system to do everything from surviving... to causing total chaos
- Level up stickmen (they get stronger... or just more dramatic)
- Recruit new ones (more mouths to feed, yay!)
- Trigger events you’re probably not ready for
As stickmen level up, they evolve — visually and mentally. Some find weapons. Others discover existential dread. Either way, good luck.
NEW UPDATE!!!!
- Trader added: exchange gold for 100 points — finally, gold is useful!
- Gold collecting system — find coins during runs
- New monster: the Blat Choice — a sideways-walking crab with attitude
- New Pets system! Adorable little creatures that generate money over time
- Floating Texts: click feedback now with great performance
- On-screen tips: new players get guidance during gameplay
- Difficulty slightly reduced (don’t get too comfy...)
- Improved SAVE system: now works on HTML and Windows
- More devices coming soon!
MERCY DLC!
Adds 3 regular cards + 1 powerful action card to make your journey slightly less painful. All for just $1:
- A card that recruits 3 extra stickmen
- A card that gives you $100 instantly
- A TRAITOR card: remove a stickman and gain $200 (no regrets)
- The MERCY CARD (action card): go back to your previous save and fix terrible decisions!
IF YOU ENJOY...
- Challenging survival gameplay
- Bad luck + weird strategies
- Stickmen making questionable life choices
- Laughing while everything falls apart
Then A Survival Game is exactly what you need.
Your stickmen are hungry. Again.

Played it one time now... for me the text itstelf is many times a bit confusing where it is not always clear where to press... For example when you go up the floor for an adventure ... you need to press one more time for the adventure to start... i would Find it better if you would automatically follow your Stickman ones your up. Would lke to have more options i can do outside the Adventure as well... But for a first game it plays quite nice
Thank you! for the feedback! Since the update is still in its early stages, I'm still adding more things! And your feedback helps me a lot! I'm sure this will improve a lot in the game ;)
new UPDATE!!!!!!
May you add a fullscreen? It's hard to see the game.
yes! thanks! I'm doing this and improving the scenarios for the new version ;)
I love this game even more after figuring out how to get past Day 3. Also, this is card game, and my game Emoti-Cards is a card game. I think it would be cool for us to collaborate. We could add the stickmen as cards in my game and add one of my enemies as a monster, or we could do something entirely different. I'm thinking of the possibility and how it would work.
That's a good idea! I'm glad you liked it :)
Having max stickmen and trying to kill the rat in your cave is like trying to grab an alligator toy out of a box of crocodile toys. It's hard.
It's really quite difficult :)
new UPDATE!!!!
Thanks for adding saving to html and a wiki for the monsters! This will not only make the game easier to play and understand, it will also add more fun.
thank you very much!

really ha ha!
Other than the art style (possibly bad on purpose), It was great! There's a great premise, the shop itself is well designed, and the monster fighting makes me feel heroic. My main issues are the creatures and the background. The wavyness hurts my eyes, and the monsters are hard to identify. May you add a way to identify the monsters like stats when hovering over them or a monster encyclopedia, a setting to disable the wavyness, and/or dialogue for the stickmen whey they do something like try to flee, charge at a monster, get hit, or loot the corner (It'd make them feel more human)?
Yes! Thanks for the feedback! I'm doing a big Update! and your feedback helped me a lot :)
Is it possible to get the save system on a downloadable .html file? I use a Chromebook.
Not for now, but in this update I will also add this and buff the monsters for better gameplay :)
IT'S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH! I STILL CAN'T GET PAST DAY 2!
I'm actually going to lower the difficulty lol :)
I've really enjoyed the progression system in this game - looks like you've put a lot of work there! *Also, I'm really grateful for your subscription :)
