''Johnny Rocketfingers'' is a [[PointAndClickGame point-and-click flash game]] made in 2003 about a badass [[StickFigureComic stick figure]] who doesn't like playing by the rules. He doesn't get any deeper than that, really. Only two games were made about him, originally released in {{Newgrounds}}. The first one has him trying to rescue a little girl from thugs (after being paid a hefty sum of cash by the mother). The second one has him scouting out for Thug Incorporated, a gang that has it out for Johnny when he beat down the leader while buying drugs from him. [[http://www.crackedanimations.com/johnnyrocketfingers3.htm A third game is planned and is intended to be much bigger than the first two.]]
