Dear Players, Introducing the in-game chat ! You are now able to write to the whole players of your room. In the next update you will be able to only write to your team.
We also increased Zeus toothpick damages from 160 to 185. We had a lot of feedbacks and we took the decision that the weapons would be now all allowed in FFA mode. We are not able to set up a high level FFA mode because it would split too much the traffic. The gameplay with the Bow and Shuriken only was also too boring. More weapons, gamemodes and new map to come. Stay tuned !

It only change the way you play. -> Improved lag and bug fix -> Improved accuracy of bullets False ideas !  This game is not a P2W game: Skins don't give any advantage , it changes only the appearance (no life bonus, no damages bonus).  No weapon is stronger than another : They have the same DPS and it is quite possible to be the king with any weapon. Nothing is random : Few players use mines and regeneration, it will allow you to win. This game is pure skill. Coming soon :  New weapon: stickiller and Play with friends give us your suggestions !

Hi there, A year ago we just put a simple showcase of BattleStick on Steam Greenlight. BattleStick aimed to be a casual and a funny game where people would be able to enjoy a quarter of an hour of great fun with friends or alone. In that way, we built BattleStick along with players along daily tests sessions. That helped us to see that some people really have interest in our game and it motivated us to go forward in order to build a strong community around this project. Things accelerated and BattleStick was greenlighted. We were really flabbergasted. As an indie videogame development studio (1 developer, 1 gfx artist and 1 level designer), we already worked for years on other projects which were never greenlighted. We took this opportunity and focused our efforts on BattleStick as much as we have free time, for one year. BattleStick is now available for free on steam in an early stage. This is the first time we release a game on Steam. Please be straightforward. Do not hesitate to give us as more feedbacks as possible so that we would be able to improve our game. We are waiting for your feelings and ideas :) Since this morning we had a lot of relevant feedbacks from the community and we want to take each of them in consideration. * Let's talk about the spear. We already had some feedbacks that spear was a P2W item but it is not the case : Spear deals +/- 10% same DPS than other weapons. In fact while shooting 1 spear, an archer can shoot 2 arrows. We will display asap in the weapons menu the datas about damages, cooldown and projectile speed so that you will be able to have a fresh POV about the spear (and other items than can be purchased). * The crown is not a premium item. It is given to the best alive player of the room (with the highest score). * The servers are currently located in France. Some lags may occurs as we are upgrading our game servers, thank you for your patience. THE NUMBER OF IN-GAME PLAYERS IS CURRENTLY LIMITED TO 30 PLAYERS. IT WILL BE INCREASED ASAP. Let's back to work now, improving the game !

Do You Have What It Takes To Be The King?!
