Stickman Battle

Facts from the Poki page

A round, step by step

Pick a fighter and step into an arena built with traps. You win by out-fighting the other stickman, using whatever weapon the arena gives you: axes, guns, even a candy.

Each fighter has a skill and a super ability. Player 1 uses WASD to move and E and Space for the abilities; player 2 uses the arrow keys with Shift and Enter. Two people can share one computer, or you can play solo or online.

Which key does what

Hints from the wings

1. IHold the jump key instead of tapping it: Poki lists jump as a hold on both sides.
2. IILearn which key is your skill and which is your super before a match; they sit on different keys for each player.
3. IIIWatch the arena first. The traps are part of the map, and they work against you as much as against the other fighter.
4. IVPlaying on one computer with a friend means two people on one keyboard, so agree on sides: WASD on the left, arrows on the right.

A good pick if

Players who like short, simple fights and want to play against a friend on the same computer.

Fine print before you go

• Two players on one keyboard is crowded.
• Poki shows ads around the game, as on any Poki page.
• Poki does not state an age rating on the page; the game is about fighting with weapons.
