Stick Rush
A stickman shooter where waves of enemies pour into the arena and you hold them off. Play alone or with a friend on the same computer.
How to play
Each round sends a wave of stickmen into the arena. Move with WASD, the arrow keys or by clicking and dragging with the mouse, and deal with them before they deal with you. Defeated enemies drop gold.
Gold opens new rooms and pays for defences, and every wave brings you closer to a new weapon that you can then upgrade. Press Space to equip a weapon, and F when you are ready for the next wave. A second player can join on the same computer.
Who might like it

Good to know

Keys and gestures
Handy tips
- 1
Pick up the gold before calling the next wave; it is what unlocks rooms and defences.

If dragging with the mouse feels clumsy, switch to WASD or the arrow keys, or the other way round.
