Stick Hero RPG blends stickman combat with a genuine RPG progression loop.

Before your first fight, you select a species (Human, Orc, or Elf) and a class (Gunner, Archer, Wizard, or Thief), and this combination shapes everything from your attack speed and damage output to how quickly your character levels up.

The gameplay itself is a side-scrolling dungeon crawler — move through fields and caverns, clear waves of zombies, desert creatures, and dungeon mobs, then face bosses that demand more than raw damage to defeat. What makes players return is the shared inventory system.

Coins, items, and bags carry over between characters, which means starting a new build does not reset your economic progress. This encourages experimentation with different species-class combinations without the usual RPG penalty of losing everything on a reroll.

As an HTML5 browser game on PLRun, it loads instantly on desktop, tablet, or mobile — no installation, no client, just immediate access to a proper RPG experience in your browser. Movement uses Left Arrow and Right Arrow to walk across the map.

Double-tapping either direction performs a jump, which is essential for dodging enemy projectiles and boss attacks. Your character attacks automatically when enemies enter weapon range, so there is no manual fire button — positioning and movement timing are your primary inputs.

On mobile, the controls translate to on-screen touch zones for movement and jumping. Before starting, you choose one of three species and one of four classes. Human has balanced stats and the fastest growth speed, making it the most forgiving choice for a first run.

Orc has high strength and durability but moves slower and has lower intelligence. Elf has the highest dexterity and intelligence but is physically fragile and levels more slowly.

Your class then determines your weapon and combat behavior: Gunner uses firearms with balanced attack and defense; Archer uses bows with excellent dodge ability and precise range; Wizard uses a staff with powerful magic damage but heavy MP consumption and low defense; Thief…

Each dungeon area sends waves of enemies at you — basic minions first, then tougher variants, then a boss at the end of the zone.
