About Stick Bang
The giants of Stickland have found an unpleasant use for their smaller neighbours. In Stick Bang, those little characters are the weapons. Your giant throws them across the battlefield at a rival, with the aim and force of each throw deciding how useful the shot will be.
This is a game to pause and judge a distance in, even when the screen looks cheerful. A throw that falls short tells you something about the next one. Moving the giant can help too: a different position changes the space between the weapon and its target. Check the available ammunition before committing to a shot rather than repeating the same throw without looking.
The original game lets you purchase and improve weapons at the end of a level. Learn what the current selection does before spending on the next one. Having more choices is only helpful when you know which choice suits the situation in front of you.

Tips for a better round
- Change the power a little after a shot falls short or goes too far. Making a huge correction can send the next one just as far past the target.
- Consider moving before using another weapon. Sometimes a better position does more than a more expensive shot.
