Stickman Wick

Stickman Wick is a brawler that pushes you upward instead of forward. Thirty floors sit between you and the enemy who took your friend, and every one of them is packed with fighters who will use fists, blades, guns and bombs to keep you on the stairs.

The rage meter is what makes the fighting interesting. Rage is what hurts the boss, and you earn more of it the closer you are standing when you land a kill. That turns the safe option into the slow option: shooting from across a room keeps you healthy but leaves you underpowered at the top. Getting in close is a gamble that pays for itself.

How to play

Work your way up floor by floor, clearing the fighters on each one before the way up opens. Tap in front of an obstacle to jump it and tap in front of an enemy to attack, so the position of your tap matters more than how fast you tap. Kills fill the rage meter and close-range kills fill it much faster, which means distance weapons are for crowded rooms and everything else is worth closing the gap for.

Controls

One input does everything: tap or click just ahead of an obstacle and Wick jumps it, tap or click in front of an enemy and he attacks. The game reads what is in front of you, so the moment you tap decides whether you clear the gap or swing at a guard.
