Stickman Madness 3 - Stronghold

Stickman Madness 3 was one of those straightforward Flash games you'd find on a free gaming site. It belonged to that era where a simple concept and quick loading times were enough to hold your attention for a while. The game didn't try to be anything more than a solid tower defense experience with a stickman aesthetic.

You control a stationary turret at your stronghold, using your mouse to aim and fire at waves of stickman attackers. Your main job is to prevent them from crossing the screen and breaching your base. As you earn cash from defeated enemies, you can purchase upgrades. These typically include new weapons, like faster firing rates or more powerful shots, and sometimes defensive improvements. The pacing starts slow but builds steadily, with later waves becoming a genuine test of your aim and upgrade timing. It feels like a tense, methodical race to outgun the approaching horde before they overwhelm you.
