I’ve played hundreds of mobile games, and most don’t last more than a day or two on my phone. https://stickmanhookonline.io is one of the rare exceptions. It’s not just fun — it’s genuinely addictive in the best possible way. There’s always that “just one more level” feeling, and before you know it, an hour has flown by.
