About this game

**STICKFIST** is a retro one-on-one fighting game in the spirit of the arcade classics — International Karate, Way of the Exploding Fist, Yie Ar Kung-Fu — reimagined for your phone, with everything drawn and composed from scratch.

**Two buttons, real depth.** Punch and Kick — that's it. But your stance turns them into six attacks that beat and lose to each other. A high kick sails over a ducking foe; a sweep goes under their guard; an overhead cracks a crouch. Nothing to memorise, plenty to master.

**A championship with a story.** Start unranked at #21 and fight your way up a ladder of twenty rivals — each with their own look and fighting style — all the way to Master Nib, the reigning champion who adapts to how you play. Best of three rounds, no repeat opponents, a ranking board between every fight.

**Ten arenas, ten skies.** Fight through snow on the Frozen Shrine Steps, rain and lightning on the Storm Rooftop, embers at the Volcano Forge, petals in the Sakura Courtyard, and more — every one hand-built from vector art with its own weather.

**Made from nothing but code.** No stock art, no licensed music — every fighter, arena and note of the chiptune soundtrack is generated from scratch.

- 20 unique AI fighters across a real difficulty curve
- 10 weather-lit arenas
- Championship and quick Single Fight modes
- Easy / Normal / Hard difficulty
- Original synthesised soundtrack and karate sound effects
- Landscape, built for two thumbs
