About this game
Stick A Round brings the pure nostalgia of childhood to life. We all remember the joy of wandering outdoors, hunting for that one "perfect" stick. The one that felt like a sword, a bow, or a magic wand. In this small open world, that childhood imagination becomes reality.
The Search
Nature does not do repeats. Our procedural generation creates a near infinite number of naturally realistic stick combinations adorned with beautiful flowers, vibrant leaves, sharp thorns, curious mushrooms, and more, ensuring no two adventures are ever the same.
Shape-Based Weapons
Bring your stick to a workbench and identify its shape. The game reads how your stick bends, curves, and branches and then transforms it into a weapon that matches its shape. A curved stick might behave like a bow while a Y shape is a slingshot. This is how we played as kids, except now your imagination becomes reality.
Stick Stats & Modifiers
Every stick is built from parts and every part matters. Its length, weight and shape directly affect damage, knockback, durability, reach, and swing speed. Short, light sticks swing fast. Long, heavy sticks hit harder, but take commitment. Find your perfect stick, master its strengths, and adapt your playstyle.
Bugs & Temporary Boosts
Hidden throughout the world are bugs that grant stat boosts. Catch the right one, and even a humble stick can surprise your friends.
Master the Playground
Prepare for hilariously chaotic combat. Outsmart your friends with precise blocks and parries, or land a massive charge attack to send them flying in a full-blown ragdoll tumble.
Mini-Games
Relive the glory days of backyard competition. Jump into private or public lobbies to face off in classic modes like King of the Hill, Infection, Tag, Last Man Standing and more! each minigame requires its own tactics and playstyles.
A Living World
The woods change with the passing of time. Explore a dynamic world featuring a full day-night cycle and a seasonal system that brings you Winter, Autumn and Summer.
