Stick Rush Unblocked

Stick Rush is a top down stickman shooter about surviving waves. You drop into a room, monsters come at you from the doorways, and the gun fires on its own, so the only thing you actually control is where you stand. That sounds simple and it is not, because everything in the room is trying to close the distance.

The monsters are not one thing repeated. There are fast ones that reach you before you have finished backing off, ranged ones that shoot from across the room, an ice variant that slows you, a kamikaze that runs in to explode, big ones that soak damage, and bosses at the end of a run. Each type wants you to move differently, and reading which has just walked in is most of the skill.

Weapons are the other half. You start on a basic gun and pick up stands scattered through the levels that hand you something better: a shotgun for the crowds, an uzi or an AK for sustained fire, an M16, a bazooka, and fire and ice guns that leave effects on the ground. Swapping at the right moment matters more than aiming does, because aiming is automatic.

Between fights there is gold to collect, chests to open, and a revive if a run goes wrong. The rooms link through portals into longer stretches, and the environments change as you go, green fields, desert, and a purple set later on, so it does not stay one corridor.

The part worth calling out is the two player mode. This is a genuine local versus and co-op on one keyboard, not an online lobby: a second stickman spawns, the camera widens to hold both of you, and there is an arena mode that counts kills for player one and player two separately and declares a winner. Two people on one Chromebook can play it properly.

It is a portrait build originally made for phones, it runs light for a 3D game, and it is one of the few genuinely good two player shooters here that does not need a second device.

How to play Stick Rush?

Move constantly. Your gun fires by itself, so survival is entirely about spacing, and standing still is what kills people. Grab weapons from the stands as you pass them, and pick the one that suits what is coming rather than whatever is newest. Back away from the fast enemies and the kamikazes, close in on the ranged ones, and use the walls to break line of fire. Collect gold on the way through, open the chests, and save the revive for a boss rather than burning it early.

Controls

On your own, WASD or the arrow keys both move you, so use whichever you like. In two player mode they split: player one is on WASD and player two is on the arrow keys, both on the same keyboard. Shooting is automatic in either mode. On a phone it swaps to a touch stick.

Can I play Stick Rush on mobile and desktop?

Both, but they are not the same experience. On a desktop or Chromebook you get the keyboard controls and the two player mode. On a phone you get a touch stick and single player only, since two player needs two sets of keys.
