Stick Smasher

Stick Smasher was one of those games you'd find buried in a Flash portal, a simple distraction during a certain era of web browsing. It had the look and feel of many stick-figure brawlers from that time, built for quick sessions between other tasks.

You control a stick figure armed with two swords, moving through side-scrolling levels filled with other stick enemies. Your main goal is to clear each stage by defeating everyone in your path. You can jump between platforms, use a basic slash attack, and occasionally pick up special weapons like bombs to clear groups. The pace is fast, and the difficulty comes from the sheer number of opponents crowding the screen. It feels chaotic and direct, a straightforward test of reaction more than strategy.
