What is Stick Rush?

Stick Rush is an action shooting game created by EasyCats and released in November 2024. Players control a stick figure combatant in an arena under assault by relentless enemy waves. Your objective is straightforward: take down waves of hostile stickmen, gather dropped gold, build defensive fortifications, and boost your weapon power. The game offers immediate action directly in your web browser with no download required, supporting both solo runs and local two-player cooperative battles.

Key features

• Wave combat: Face off against successive clusters of enemy stick figures across dynamic arena battlegrounds.
• Resource gathering: Collect gold left behind by defeated foes to finance defenses and chamber upgrades.
• Weapon enhancements: Upgrade your equipped weapons continuously to deal with escalating threat levels.
• Room fortifications: Unlock additional rooms and place structural defenses to slow down advancing attackers.
• Local multiplayer: Team up with a friend on the same computer for cooperative two-player defense.
• Dual control options: Navigate using standard keyboard directional keys or by dragging with the mouse.

How to play

1. Select whether to play alone or launch a local two-player session with a friend on a single keyboard.

3. Shoot oncoming enemy stick figures while staying clear of their direct attacks.
4. Pick up gold piles dropped on the ground before the next onslaught begins.

Arena defenses and weapon upgrades

Survival in Stick Rush depends on how effectively you invest your gold between hostile waves. Every defeated opponent leaves behind coins that can be reinvested into defensive structures and combat equipment. Expanding into new rooms gives you more physical distance to maneuver and allows you to set up choke points against enemy swarms.

Weapon upgrades are equally vital because later waves introduce tougher, faster enemies that can overwhelm basic attacks. Regularly improving your weapon output ensures you eliminate targets quickly before they breach your outer fortifications. Balancing spending between static defenses and personal offensive gear creates the most resilient setup.

Tips and strategy

• Gather gold before summoning: Sweep the floor for all remaining gold coins before triggering the next enemy cluster.
• Upgrade weapons early: Invest in weapon damage during early waves so you can dispatch incoming foes before they cluster together.
• Fortify rooms: Unlock available rooms to create breathing room and position defenses that funnel attackers through narrow pathways.
• Coordinate in multiplayer: When playing with a partner, designate one player to defend barricades while the other clears flankers.
• Choose comfortable steering: Experiment between keyboard directional movement and mouse dragging to find which input gives you the best dodging control.

Game modes

Single player

In single player mode, one fighter handles all movement, targeting, gold collection, and base defense across every wave.

Local two-player

In local two-player mode, two players share one computer to fight side by side, doubling firepower and coordinating defensive coverage against larger swarms.
