About the Game

small knight.. BIG BALL

String Mace is a physics based score attack game about swinging a huge spiked ball on a string. Smash through waves of golems, build absurd combos, and crush towering bosses in brutal arena combat.  Keep your combo alive by chaining kills together and keeping the ball in the air.

roll with the gang

Unlock iconic characters: Chunky Knight, Coal Head, Edward III, and more, each with their own play styles and movement. Push for high scores, climb the ranks with each character, and chase the perfect run.

swing hard

Master weighty physics based combat. Pull the ball toward you with your string, swing it into enemies, and send it crashing through anything in your way. Just remember: the ball can hit you too!
