Stickman Battle

Stickman Battle: Fast Fights, Big Supers, Two Players on One Keyboard

Stick figures have been fighting on computer screens for decades, and Stickman Battle shows why the style never gets old. Two stickmen, a weapon each, special skills and screen-filling supers. Fights are fast, fun and full of chaos, and you can play them alone or against a friend sitting right next to you.

It is made by EasyCats, and its main strength is its two-player mode. Both players share one keyboard, so it is ideal for a quick match with a friend, a brother or a sister.

Skills and Supers

Stickman Battle is not just about hitting. Every fighter has two special moves:

• ⚡ Skill: a special move you can use often. It is good for pressure, breaking through a defence, or escaping a bad spot.
• 💥 Super: your strongest attack. Save it for the moment it will hit, because it can turn a fight around in a second.

Knowing when to use each one is what separates good players from button mashers. A super thrown into thin air is wasted. A super used just as the opponent lands is often a match winner.

Tips for Winning

• Don't stand still. Stickman fights reward movement. Jump, step back and come in from a new angle.
• Hold jump for height. Holding the jump key longer gives you a higher jump, which is great for getting over attacks.
• Bait the super. Make your opponent use their super first, dodge it, then punish them while they wait for it to recharge.
• Use the skill to start combos. Opening with your skill often leaves the other fighter open for follow-up hits.
• Know your weapon. Different weapons have different reach. Fight at the distance that suits yours.

Solo or With a Friend

Alone, Stickman Battle is a good practice ground for learning moves and timing. With a second player, it becomes a great local multiplayer game, with fast rounds, quick rematches and lots of shouting.
