About the Game
Stickman Rush is a fast-paced endless runner game that puts a unique twist on the genre. Instead of controlling a single character, you're building an entire army of stickmen as you run. Pick up recruits along the way, dodge deadly obstacles, and see how far your growing army can go.
The game combines the simple, addictive gameplay of classic runners with strategic elements — do you go for the risky path with more recruits, or play it safe and keep your current army intact? Every run is different, and the high score chase keeps you coming back.

Development Story
Stickman Rush started as an experiment with HTML5 game development. I wanted to build something that was genuinely fun to play — not just a tech demo, but a game people would actually want to come back to. The key insight was combining the satisfying visual of a growing crowd with the tension of an endless runner.
The game was built using web technologies and packaged for Android using Capacitor, making it possible to play both in the browser and as a native mobile app. The entire development process — from concept to Google Play launch — was a solo effort, covering game design, art direction, programming, monetization, and marketing.
One of the biggest challenges was getting the difficulty curve right. Too easy and players get bored; too hard and they give up. Through extensive playtesting and analytics, I tuned the game to hit that sweet spot where every run feels like you almost could have gone further.
