Stick Nodes: Bringing stick figures to life
Crazy stick figure dances, a stick figure ninja battle, and insane animations are just a few of the fun things users can create in Stick Nodes. Animated gifs can be made from piecing together individual frames featuring stick figure characters. Stick Nodes is compatible with iOS devices running iOS 6.0 or later but looks best on larger screens. Stick Nodes is an extensive animation program that includes the ability to create almost any stick figure shape. There is the option to customize each stick figure's shape, color, and segment thickness. This means users can create a team of robot dinosaurs attacking a miniature city if they want to, all from their phone or tablet. This makes creating silly gifs to share with friends easy and accessible. Stick Nodes performs very well for a mobile animation program. Users can add as many stick figures and objects as they want with hardly any performance loss, even when exporting a gif. Depending on the amount of objects users are animating and how long the gif will be, the exporting process takes less than a minute in most cases. There is a lot of attention to detail in the creation of this app, especially with the inclusion of frame-tweening. This helps smooth out animations by creating an intermediate animation to link different actions together. This feature improves the quality of most of the animations users create and makes Stick Nodes feel more like a tool that is fun to use and less like a toy. One downside to Stick Nodes is that it has an ad pop up when users launch the app. While this is a little annoying, this is the only ad you will see in the app. When trying to animate on a smaller screen, the buttons can be hard to tap, however, this problem goes away when animating on a larger screen. Stick Nodes is free on the App Store and recommended for anyone looking for a fun and creative way to share gifs with their friends.
One Shots: You must first pass the test
Normally we likely wouldn't generally add in a 'screenshot' from a browser-based, primarily text MMO, but we're such huge fans of the Test of Literacy that we simply couldn't resist posting this Kingdom of Loathing screen that was sent in to us by Harmen. Here's what he had to say about this extremely funny screenshot - A One Shot of something completely different: Kingdom of Loathing, browser-based, stick-figures, is hilarious, free, really rather hard and even includes PvP. It has been running since 2003, and is still actively expanded. This is a screenshot of the 'tests' you need to pass when you want to enter the chat channel the first time. One of the tests is the difference between 'their', 'there' and 'they're'. Really, we think more MMOs should have literacy tests.If you're playing a funny, independent, off-the-beaten-path MMO, we want to see a screenshot and hear a bit about why you think this is a really cool game! Who knows - you may recruit some new players to check out your game. Just email those screens to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the game, and whatever you'd like to say about the screenshot. We'll post it out here and give you the credit for sending it in. %Gallery-9798%
