About Stick Army
Stick Army is a short arcade game starring a band of stick-figure soldiers. Its central move is the stick itself: you hold your finger on the screen and the stick stretches out, so its length depends on how long you keep holding. Judging that hold is the core skill, and every run starts with the HIGH SCORE display at zero.
Around that move, the soldiers face hazardous ground and enemies to outmaneuver, and the challenge escalates as you go. Building happens on the fly rather than in a separate planning stage, so decisions come quickly and each one counts. The score gives every run a target, and your best result is the number to beat next time. Stick Army is laid out for a phone held upright, though a computer can run it too.

How to play Stick Army
Objective
Stretch the stick to the right length with each hold, keep your stick-figure soldiers going as the challenges escalate, and beat your HIGH SCORE.
Controls
Mobile
- Hold your finger on the screen: stretch out the stick
Getting started
- Hold the phone vertically to match the tall layout; a desktop browser can run it as well.
- Start a run and note the HIGH SCORE display, which begins at 0 and records your best result.
- Hold your finger on the screen to stretch out the stick, keeping it down for as long as you want the stick to grow.
- Judge the length as it grows; the stick only stretches while your finger stays down, so the timing of your hold is the skill.
- Keep going as the challenges escalate, outmaneuvering enemies and pushing your score past your previous best.
Tips
- The stick grows only while you hold, so a short, controlled press is safer than a long one when you are unsure how far it needs to reach.
- Challenges escalate as you go, so treat the first stretches as practice for judging length before the hazards get harder.
- Your HIGH SCORE is the record to chase, so aim for steady, careful runs rather than gambling a good run on one rushed stretch.

Stick Army FAQ
How do you control Stick Army?
Hold your finger on the screen and the stick stretches out. How long you hold decides how long the stick gets, so the whole game comes down to judging that hold.
Is there a score in Stick Army?
Yes. A HIGH SCORE display starts at 0 and keeps your best run, so each new attempt is a chance to beat it as the challenges get harder.
Does Stick Army work on phones?
It is made for them, with a tall layout and a hold-to-stretch control that needs only one finger. It also opens in a desktop browser if you would rather play on a computer.
