Overview

Dear Players, We are excited to announce the huge update that you may have heard us referring to recently! The main focus of this update is the server and game architecture. We have been working tirelessly to have a scalable solution to handle a greater amount of total and concurrent players as well as maximising performance. We feel that with this update we have made considerable progress as we are now able to quickly and easily deploy servers as the demand requires. Thanks to your feedback and extensive testing we have also rebalanced all of the weapons. We have tried out the changes on our development server and feel it is a good start, but obviously we will need the kind of raw stats and feedback that only actual extended gameplay can provide. So keep this in mind and if you have any feedback to offer on this please feel free to share it with us.

Your personal stats are now displayed within the updated Leaderboard page.

Bugs/Glitches

Place/Detonate Satchel Charge When Dead

A bug where a player could place AND detonate a satchel charge when dead, thus killing a player, has now been fixed.

Free Coins Button Crash

A bug where clicking the "Free Coins" button after having already done so, entering a game, dying and then trying to press it again from the main menu resulted in the client crashing, has now been fixed.

Player Score Cleared

A bug where the player score would clear (display only) from the Leaderboard if they died and returned to the main menu, has now been fixed. You will now still be able to see the Leaderboard (top right in-game) from the main menu with your last score, until you either play again or quit the game.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes, or have ideas on how to improve them; then please feel free to let us know in the comments section below. Sincerely, Deadmano | BattleStick Community Manager.

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

BattleStick is a crazy and casual fast-paced physics-based 2D stickman MMO where you fight others in an arena with several weapons to choose from!

Imbue yourself with the power of those you've slain whilst misleading your enemies by feigning your own death! The strategies are yours to make, and we will continue to expand upon the game with new and exciting updates to bring you hours of entertainment!

BattleStick is, and will always be, a Free-to-Play game.

In-Game Purchases : To support development, there will be items made available for purchase within the game, but they will never be offered to gain an advantage over others. For example, you are able to purchase skins and weapons with the in-game currency "Coins" for use immediately, however you can also unlock each and every weapon/skin from leveling up. So it is up to you, the player, if you wish to grind it out, or support the developers and get to use a specific weapon/wear a specific skin without waiting.

Controls

WAD/ZQD or Up/Left/Right arrow keys: Movement.
S or Down arrow key: Regenerate HP.
Left Mouse Button: Use Weapon.
Right Mouse Button: Drop a Satchel Charge/Explode a dropped Satchel Charge.
