  1. [R10] Stick Nodes 1/5 · US So garbage: Like I don’t even know how to draw hair all these segments and stupid stuff just put an option that says hair and the color you want for it and make options that say shoe and what shoe you want like you make it so difficult I hate this junk ong.
  2. [R11] Stick Nodes 5/5 · US AWESOME: This game is super cool it lets you create your own characters let’s you add characters and present them I really recommend this to anyone who wants to be a animator or a movie creator because this would be great practice and it feels like you are a animator and when your done you great you to show it off and blab about how long it took this game is really awesome to any one read you shou
  3. [R14] Stick Nodes 5/5 · US This is so damn good: I used to use other animating apps like FlipaClip (no hate to them) but it was always so hard because evey frame I had to draw it manually. What I like about this app is when you add another frame instead of drawing the previous frame it'll already be there, and it isn't even required in low frames like 5 and my personal settings recommend is 5 fps and auto tween and dark mod

  17. [R28] Stick Nodes 1/5 · US It sucked: If I had a nickel for every time this thing was bad I’d be living in a mansion made of gold.
