Play StickJump for free — a fighting game that runs directly in your browser on desktop, tablet or phone. StickJump is a duel. Two fighters, one arena, and a health bar that only goes one way. Spacing, timing and nerve decide who walks away. A few things the tags reveal: it is a runner — your character moves forward automatically and you steer, jump or dodge; it follows the hyper-casual formula: one mechanic, instant play and very short rounds; timing your jumps is the main mechanic.
About StickJump
StickJump is a high-speed reflex game where you control a stick figure running around an endless circle. But dont be complacent—obstacles appear continuously and completely unexpectedly, always trying to block your path! Your task is very simple: jump at the right moment, dodge accurately, and try to run for as long as possible. The longer you survive, the faster the
Judged as a fighting game, StickJump hits the notes you would hope for: distinct characters or fighters, rounds and rematches and a clear rhythm of attack and defence. Playing it works your timing and execution, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.

Tips and tricks
- Jumping is a commitment. Do it to escape or to surprise, never as a default movement.
- Pick one character and one simple combo and repeat it until it is automatic. Consistency wins far more than variety.
- Punish, don't predict. Wait for a missed attack and hit the recovery — it is the safest damage in any fighting game.
- Special moves are best used to finish a combo or a round, not to open one.
- Because this is a Running game, look at the middle distance rather than right in front of you.
- Because this is a Stickman game, stickman games are forgiving about looks and strict about timing.
