Stagehand: A Reverse Platformer

"Yawn, a platformer." Oh yeah? Take that yawn back. Stagehand might look like your typical run-and-jumper, but it plays nothing like one. In Stagehand, you don't control the character, you control… THE STAGE.
Category Price Seller Device
Games $1.99 Matthew Comi iPhone, iPad, iPod

Your job is to quickly and strategically position all the platforms on the level before our hero Frank (last seen in The Incident) runs headfirst into a cliff, or feet-first into lava. Stagehand is fast, hilarious, and fun. You're going to have a fantastic time with it.

What's in the box:

• Next-gen pixel graphics.
• 4 unique characters.
• Another earworm of a soundtrack.
• Haptic feedback for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
• Instant respawn for endless score-chasing.
• Share an animated GIF of Frank's final moments!
• The offical Stagehand-iMessage-Sticker-Pack is included with every copy.

Stagehand is everyone's favorite new flavor of the summer. Grab a spoon and dig in!

Would be 5 stars if it supported my iPhone X. iPad 11 would be cool too.


A truly new game
davebug

First, this game is fun to play. That's what matters most. But, also, this is a new way to play, and makes you rethink how to play, and that also matters a lot. It's absurd you can get that for $2.


Quite simply, perfect.
KmikeyM

This game has no flaws. It is wholly entertaining and increasingly challenging. Perfect!


Extremely well-executed.
Twisted View

The gameplay, the music, hell, even the app icon. Just everything is pitch-perfect. Get this app.


When an unstoppable object meets movable platforms
kepano_a

Just when you thought it all had been done before, these geniuses make a challenging platformer that flips the whole concept on its head. In this game you play a god-like entity with the power to move mountains, tormenting a Sisyphean character who has no choice but to pursue the human rat race that we all know so well. Stagehand raises philosophical questions about free will and the notion of "self" that cannot be summarized in this brief review but certainly make you question the nature of reality itself. Great music too.


What a refreshing take on the platformer genre
ShahrouzT

I don't usually become addicted to games almost immediately. This was not the case with Stagehand. The controls are intuitive, the art is beautiful, the music is great. I will recommend this game to everyone I know for the foreseeable future.


Turning Platformers on Their Head
~~millennial~~

This game takes a simple concept — a platformer, but you play as the stage! — but it is completely transformative. The game is unlike anything to come before it, and is the best iOS game in a long time. Thanks for such a wonderful game, with beautiful graphics and fun music!


Cool idea, bad execution
$Bill,Y'all

This game plays like a "what if" of if you could control the stage rather than the character. Unfortunately we've had 30 years of controlling Mario to let us know that shoehorning a weird touch-based mechanic of moving platforms into a platformer isn't the solution, it's a crutch to make up for touch screen controls.


Such a fantastic new game!!
