STICKSHOT: Comic War

Stick figures. Neon ink. Total chaos.

STICKSHOT: Comic War is a fast first-person shooter drawn like a comic book: bold colours, thick ink lines and stick fighters who fly, tumble and ragdoll when they get hit. Every fight looks like a panel from a comic - and almost everything in it can break.

Early Access: why play now

Massive updates, all the time: 15 update rounds in the first four weeks after launch on October 16 - a second Battle Royale map, 6 new guns, 8 new grenades, gadgets and shopping carts, an APC and drivable police cars, time of day, challenges, leaderboards, bots that adapt to you and brand-new menus. And we keep going.

EARLY ACCESS PASS - only in Early Access: free for everyone who owns the game, 50 tiers with 28 weapon skins, 12 costumes and 4 dances you can't get anywhere else - tier 50 is the legendary EARLY ACCESS FOUNDER. When the full version comes out, the pass is gone. Play now and secure your rewards - everything you claim stays yours.

Cheaper at full release: when the game is finished, the price goes down - not up. Every update is free.Battle Royale on STICK ISLAND

Up to 60 players in Solo, Duo or Squad - bots fill every empty slot, so matches start fast

Jump from the plane and land anywhere on a 1.2 km island: SNIPER TOWERS, a high-rise city with long stairwells, flat sniper roofs, elevators and rooftop ziplines - plus a harbour, a neon market, a prison rock, a wonder park with a ferris wheel, a junkyard, a farm, a gas station and more

Zip down ziplines, take the glass lift to the sky deck, fell trees and hide behind them

Loot glows by rarity: weapons, vests, helmets, bandages, medkits, armor plates and shield potions

A shrinking zone, supply crates that pop open, death boxes full of your rivals' loot, knocks and revives

Ride the S1 ring train around the whole island - hop on, fight in the carriages or watch out at the crossings - and storm the streets, square and bank of BANK TOWNSTICK MALL - Battle Royale indoors

A giant mall for up to 40 players on six floors - parking garage, ground floor, LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2, a service tunnel and a roof garden, linked by escalators, stairwells, a freight lift, a bridge and 3 ziplines

VENT DROP: no plane - you start in the service tunnel, pick one of 30 shafts on the shaft map and glide down into the mall

LOCKDOWN: the zone seals area after area with roll-down shutters and floods it with gas - every shutter keeps an exit hatch open

68 places to loot: 50 shops with their own names, big stores from supermarket to arcade, a food court, a cinema and a security room with live camera screens

1-2 events in every match: BLACKOUT, SPRINKLER, SECURITY ALARM, FLASH SALE or EVACUATION

Pick STICK ISLAND, STICK MALL or ANY MAP before you search - then everyone in the lobby votes

Vehicles, guns and time of day

Drive buggies, pickups and motorbikes - your squad rides along and shoots from the seats, wrecks burn and explode, and you can smash through fences and thin walls

Vehicle guns: a heavy MG on pickups, a rocket pod on buggies and a slow 6x6 APC with a grenade turret - and the police cars on STICK ISLAND are drivable, with siren and lights

Shoot out tires, crack windshields and knock off doors and hoods - cabins protect their riders, motorbikes don't

Every Battle Royale drops at morning, noon, sunset or night - a comic night with moonlight, stars, glowing windows and street lights

Gadgets and shopping carts

SHOPPING CARTS in STICK MALL: push one, hop on and roll - a friend rides in the basket and shoots

Gadget grenades: INK BOMB makes enemies glow through walls, FAKE OUT fakes steps and gunfire, SNITCH sticks to walls and pings enemies near it, POP WALL pops up a bulletproof steel wall

BZZT stuns whoever you zap up close, FOAM PARTY puts out fires and shoves people back

GAS MASK, FIZZ energy soda (shoot a vending machine for cans) and WHEELIES roller skates - fast on smooth floors, but loud

In STICK MALL: STAFF KEYCARDS open locked staff rooms with better loot, DOOR STOPS jam the lockdown shutters and the CAM TABLET taps into 22 security camerasTactical 5v5

Recoil patterns, headshots, wallbangs - hits land on the stick figure you actually see
