Hurl spears at a charging stickman horde, survive escalating waves, and upgrade your arsenal between rounds in this fast, juicy arcade survival game.
About Spear Stickman
Spear Stickman is a single-screen survival action game where you play a lone stickman warrior holding the line against waves of enemy stickmen and lumbering brutes. Aim your spear, account for the arc of gravity, and throw — spears stick into enemies with a satisfying thunk and topple them in a ragdoll tumble. Each cleared wave gets faster and heavier, mixing quick runners, sturdy grunts, and high-HP brutes that later charge from both sides. Coins and score pour in as you rack up kills, and between every wave you pick one of three upgrades to shape your build: faster throws, multi-spear fans, sharper tips, a stronger arm, or more health. Everything is drawn with canvas and animated with hit-stop, screen shake, sparks, and floating score popups, with synthesized sound effects and a moody crimson-on-midnight palette. It runs fully in your browser with no downloads, and remembers your best wave and best score.
Inside Spear Stickman: what we checked
The numbers below come from Spear Stickman's own source code, and the screenshots are from our own test run of the game (20 October 2026).
- Wave n sends 3 + (1.4 × n, rounded down) enemies, so wave 1 is 4 grunts and wave 10 is 17 enemies. Runners can appear from wave 2 and brutes from wave 3. From wave 4 about a third of them come from the left instead of the right.
- Enemies get 10% more health each wave. A grunt starts at 34 health and a brute at 120, and your spear starts at 34 damage, so a brute takes four hits before any upgrades and more as the waves go on.
- Nothing hits you until an enemy reaches your feet. Then it dies and hurts you at once: 10 health from a grunt, 8 from a runner, 22 from a brute, out of 100.
- After every wave you pick one of three random upgrades out of five: a shorter delay between throws, an extra spear in a fan, 40% more damage, 30 more max health with a full heal, or faster, flatter spears. Health does not come back any other way.
- Kills score 10 for a grunt, 14 for a runner and 30 for a brute, and also drop coins (3, 4 and 9). Coins are only counted on screen; they cannot be spent.
- Your best wave and best score are kept in this browser's local storage.

How to play Spear Stickman
Move your mouse or drag your finger to aim the spear; the dotted guide shows its arcing path. Click, tap, or press Space to throw. Spears fall under gravity, so aim a little high for distant targets and lead the runners. Enemies advance from the right (and later the left too) — kill them before they reach you, because every one that lands a hit chips away at your health. Survive the whole wave to bank your coins and choose an upgrade, then face the next, tougher wave. The run ends when your health hits zero; try to beat your best wave and best score.
Controls
Mouse/Touch: move to aim, click or tap to throw a spear. Keyboard: Arrow keys (or WASD) to fine-tune your aim, Space or Enter to throw. Between waves press 1, 2, or 3 to pick an upgrade. Press M to mute or unmute. Any key or tap on the start and game-over screens begins a fresh run.
Tips & tricks
- Spears drop as they fly — aim above distant enemies and lead fast runners so the arc lands on them.
- Brutes soak a lot of hits, so prioritize Sharper Tips or Multi-Spear early, and start chipping them before they get close.
- Quick Throw plus Multi-Spear is a powerful combo for the later double-sided waves when enemies pour in from both directions.
- Don't let runners slip through while you focus a brute — every enemy that reaches you deals damage, so clear the nearest threat first.
