What is Mad Stick
Mad Stick is a fast-paced stickman fighting game that focuses on timing and strategy over flashy graphics. Jump in, pick your stance, and see if you can outlast the rising tide of challengers.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move and jump, and press the attack buttons to throw punches and kicks. Observe your opponent's pattern, then strike when an opening appears to land a clean hit.
Tips for Playing
- Wait for your opponent to attack first, then counter with a quick strike.
- Use jumps to avoid low kicks and create distance for a surprise attack.
- Mix up your punches and kicks to keep your opponent guessing.
- Practice timing your hits so they land just after a dodge.
- Stay patient—rushing in often leads to a counter-hit from the enemy.
