The Henry Stickmin Collection

The Henry Stickmin Collection is a point-and-click adventure video game. It was made by Marcus Bromander (known as "PuffballsUnited") and published by Innersloth.^[1] It was released on 7th August 2020. The Henry Stickmin Collection is a collection and series of the 5 original flash games "Breaking the Bank", "Escaping the Prison", "Stealing the Diamond", "Infiltraiting the Airship" and "Fleeing the Complex" remastered and redone with new features. All of these original games were from Newgrounds. To top it off, the collection came with a whole new game "Completing the Mission". It follows the criminal Henry Stickmin (not StickMAN, StickMIN) who ends up in different endings and timelines with the government, a criminal orginization and a sketchy prison. Other notable characters are Charles Calvin and Ellie Rose (Reginald Copperbottom, Right Hand Man, Captain Galeforce, Dmitri Petrov, Gregori Olyat, Sven Svenssen, Dave Panpa)

"Completing the Mission" is over three times larger than the previous games, and has many more paths for the player to choose.

The Henry Stickmin series, known for rich story and multi-game references, started in the late 2000's where an animator/game maker named Marcus Bromander made a video titled "The Bridge". "The Bridge" is about a stickman trying to cross a bridge, the video didn't really have any game aspect to it which the next game "Crossing the Pit" would have. In "Crossing the Pit" we play as a stickman that is trying to... cross a pit. The player chooses which item to use and there is no real ending in which you win.

In 2008, Bromander released the first real game of the Henry Stickmin series "Breaking the Bank". "Breaking the Bank" caught the attention of Stickpage who bought some of the rights to it. Following "Breaking the Bank" came "Escaping the Prison" which became popular for having multiple endings, it would be followed by "Stealing the Diamond" which was similar to "Escaping the Prison" but had different medals you could get (now called achievements).

In 2013, "Infiltrating the Airship released" under Newgrounds. It follows Henry Infiltrating the criminal group The Toppat Clan's airship (see more below at Plot) with help from the government. The thing that was special with "Infiltrating the Airship" was that now the different endings leads to its own story and not with the same outcome. In one ending you become leader of The Toppat Clan and abandon the government, in another he gets the leaders arrested with help of Charles Calvin.

In 2015's "Fleeing the Complex" Henry is captured by a prison called The Wall, he tries to escape with help from Ellie Rose, The Toppat Clan or Charles.

In 2020 "Completing the Mission" got released alongside the remastered versions of the previous games. In this game you combine two endings, one from "Infiltrating the Airship" and one from "Fleeing the Complex", then you see what happens in that story following the things you did. With the release of the collection there came a feature called Bios where you can click a character and you'll get their biography. Some achievements were also redone.
