📚 Game Guides: games picked by genre, one page each
What is Stick Duel: The War?
The war chapter of the stick duel series, with a reworked physics engine that makes every shot and every leap a little loose and a little funny. Face the computer or the friend beside you, and the first to five rounds wins the match.
How to play
Each round opens with the two fighters appearing at opposite ends of the map. You double jump between platforms and attack with whatever weapon lands in your hands, and since range and fire rate differ, being caught in the open with the wrong weapon for the map costs you the round. Fire pools and traps on the maps kill either fighter, so pushing your rival into one is sometimes the easiest route. First to five rounds takes the match.

Tips
- When a long range weapon reaches you, stop closing in. Climb to a high platform and hold the distance.
- Fighting beside a fire pool is risky, but one shove ends the round instantly.
- Keep the double jump for getting out. Hanging in the air while attacking leaves you defenceless.
