Actually, Doyle 2 is neither a prequel nor a sequel nor in any other way related to Doyle. It's just that when I started the project, I planned on including the original Doyle character from the first game as antagonist. However, it turned out that the game will be quite different, and now the stickman is called Doyle. That's why there's no relation whatsoever between both games, hence I don't want to make it look like there is one.
I think calling them Yankee and Snicker Doodle... well... if I am not mistaken, you consider them to be brothers then? In this case, I should have mentioned they don't know each other in the beginning of the game. Anyway, I think, although humour is an essential part of the game, the names of the characters shouldn't be
too over the top. I mean, Dr. Fiasco comes close, but I think that it still could be an actual name.
Once more thanks for your help.
But now straight to the point. I compiled a list of the in my opinion most promising/fitting/interesting names, and already asked a few friends to pick their favourites. It would be great if you could do that as well.
Here's the List:
1. Stickmania
2. Doyle's Humble Adventure of Superlatives
3. Fragile
4. Doyle and Baxter Save the World
5. The Great Fiasco
6. Doyle vs Gravity
7. Doyle vs the Moon
8. GTFO, Moon!
9. Who turned off the light?!
10. Doyle
One thing you should know is that as part of the story "Evil Dr. Fiasco" uses his spaceship to push the moon in front of the sun, blocking all the sun light. Doyle then decides to put an end to the situation in order to save his beloved pot plant, Bob. To do so, he's going to cooperate with Baxter, who's captured on the space ship.
No more details here, just the general outline to explain the role of Fiasco, the Moon and Baxter.
I'd really appreciate your opinion, and of course I still "accept" new ideas. It's just that I really want to determine the name within the next few days, so I can finally start an actual website and all that.

Regarding the suggestions of Quel, Da_Rhyno, TechLord, WLGfx and JTK:
-'Watch your step!', despite the awesome exclamation mark
doesn't really describe the game very well, or even fit the gameplay. Of course, that's due to me not telling you that much about the game in the first place.
-"Hello There!: Legacy of a Stickman" is actually quite funny, but as mentioned, the Hello There-reference is rather arbitrary.
-Mighty Platform Stickman reminds me of Super Meat Boy, but seems a bit too generic to actually awake a player's interest
-Blockventure sounds like a pretty random combination, if you ask me, simply "Block Adventure" would sound even better, but then again, that would be quite generic and might make people think of another Minecraft-Clone
-'Get me out of here!' would certainly be a great title for a small game centered around that topic (seriously, somebody should do that, right now
), but the events in my game don't really justify calling the whole thing after that.
-"I'm alive and well, where am I?" probably qualifies for a short story or as title of an epic blog post
Not sure if you even wanted to hear that, or if some of the suggestions were jokes anyway. I simply didn't want to ignore your efforts.
