Stick Brawl
A stickman fighting game on a sunset dojo deck. Chain punches and kicks into combos, grab bats, staffs and hammers, beat endless waves and three bosses, then spend coins on new moves.
Stick Brawl is a side-view stickman beat 'em up drawn in ink on warm paper. You fight on a long wooden deck under paper lanterns while rival stickmen pour in from both sides. Punches and kicks chain into combos, every hit lands with a crunchy freeze-frame, and knocked-out fighters spin away in a puff of smoke and stars. Smack a flying foe into the arena gates for a wall bounce and bonus damage.
Each wave is bigger than the last. Grunts and fast green fighters arrive first, then pie throwers who keep their distance, shield carriers who block punches from the front until a kick breaks their guard, and armored brutes who shrug off light hits while they wind up. Every fifth wave is a boss: a charging giant who stomps out shockwaves, a staff fighter who teleports behind you, and an ink master who throws orbs and summons shadow clones. Weapons drop between waves, dodging through an attack at the last moment triggers slow motion, and a full special meter unleashes a screen-wide burst.
Made for fans of fighting games and arcade brawlers who like learning combos. Coins are saved between runs and unlock the rising uppercut, cyclone kick, dive kick and dash strike, plus health, power and coin upgrades. Tip: kicks break shields, so open with a kick.
How to play
Survive as many waves as you can. Walk into enemies and punch or kick; pressing attacks in rhythm chains them into combos that raise your score multiplier. Watch for enemies flashing orange or red: that is an attack winding up, so dodge through it or hit them first. Kicks break shields. Walk over weapons and food to pick them up. Fill the special meter by landing hits, then unleash it to blast everyone nearby. Every fifth wave brings a boss. When your health runs out the run ends, and the coins you collected buy new moves and upgrades on the Upgrades screen.
