Take some stickmen, give them weapons and an endless stream of opponents, and the result is a clever game that you won’t want to put down. Your aim is to stay alive by taking out your enemies without missing, which is easier said than done if you have a screen full of pistol-wielding stickmen shooting at your head. Different levels offer different weapons. You start with pistols and progress to shotguns, bows and more serious weaponry such as rockets. The new weapons are unlockable, so you can either earn the 150 coins needed to get them, or you can buy the lot for under €2. Personally, I prefer to earn them, but it’s a slow process. If you don’t fancy the cartoon bloodshed, you can use the unlocked Christmas version, where your stickman assassins still have pistols, but you attack them with presents and a candy cane!
