Stick Soldier is one of the fighting games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Stick Soldier is a duel. Two fighters, one arena, and a health bar that only goes one way. Spacing, timing and nerve decide who walks away. From the tags you can already tell that there is no final level; the game continues until you fail, and distance or score is the goal; it follows the hyper-casual formula: one mechanic, instant play and very short rounds.
About Stick Soldier
Stick Soldier is an engaging arcade game that challenges your reflexes and precision. In this fast-paced game, your primary objective is to control a stick figure by manipulating a growing stick that allows you to traverse different platforms. As you hold your finger on the screen, the stick will begin to stretch. The key to success is to gauge the
The genre lives on a block or dodge system, rounds and rematches and distinct characters or fighters. Stick Soldier understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. The skills it leans on are spacing and reading opponents; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks
- Watch the opponent's health bar. Players change behaviour when they are low, and the change is exploitable.
- Special moves are best used to finish a combo or a round, not to open one.
- Learn to block before you learn to combo. A player who cannot be hit cannot lose, and everything else follows from that.
- Jumping is a commitment. Do it to escape or to surprise, never as a default movement.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
