Home is a dumpster in the worst part of a city that already forgot you. It's not going to get easier from here — but it is going to get funnier, richer, and a lot more violent.
Stickville is a 2.5D life-sim brawler about clawing off the bottom of a stickman city. No money. No name. No way out but up. Work jobs, run hustles, learn to throw a punch — and then a blade — and gamble against tables that are all rigged. The trick is spotting how.
🥊 FIGHT LIKE YOU MEAN IT
Real-time melee built on stamina, range, and reading your opponent. Bare fists, knives, bats, a katana with its own moveset, even a legendary slam hammer. Learn techniques from back-alley senseis and unlock special moves that clear a whole room.
💰 EVERY TABLE IS A CON
Sit down at hands-on blackjack, roulette, dice, and street hustles where winning means spotting the rig — the loaded shell, the marked card, the dealer's tell — not just picking a number.
⚙️ GRIND THE PITS
Fight-night rings, gauntlet ladders, boardroom brawls — repeatable arenas you can run forever. Every clean clear banks you a spin.
🎁 CRACK THE CHEST
Then you walk to the strongbox and spin. Grey... green... blue... come on... PURPLE. The chest is where the good stuff lives — the dash, the board, the gear everyone actually grinds for — handed out on a rarity ladder with a slow-burn payoff. When it finally hits purple, the whole screen celebrates. You'll feel it.
🏙️ A CITY WITH A BOTTOM AND A TOP
Start in the rain-slick slums and climb through the casino strip, the midtown avenues, and the glass towers downtown. Build a home out of a dumpster, fill it with everything you've earned, and watch the city visibly reward the climb.
⚖️ CHOICES THAT STICK
A karma system that tracks only what actually matters — mercy, integrity, cruelty. Decide who you become on the way up.
🛸 ...AND THEN THERE'S THE THING AT MIDNIGHT
Some nights the city isn't the strangest thing out there. Keep your head up.
One street. Every choice. Your life — however you claw it out.
