Game Guide
Stick Up! takes "shield defense + ascent escape" as its core gameplay. Although the operation seems simple, breaking high scores actually requires precise prediction and rhythm control. This guide helps you quickly grasp the essence of clearing the game from three dimensions: basic operations, advanced skills, and high-score strategies, allowing you to easily reach the cloud top.
Basic operations are the foundation of high scores, with the core being "precise touch control + flexible deployment and retraction". The game supports one-finger operation; a light tap on the screen activates the shield, and releasing it retracts it. New players should note that holding the shield for too long is not advisable—prolonged shielding will block the ascent path, easily causing the stickman to collide with obstacles and fall. The correct approach is to observe the upper part of the screen in advance, predict the appearance time of obstacles such as swords and shurikens, activate the shield 0.5 seconds in advance, and retract it immediately after defense to leave sufficient space for ascent. At the same time, always keep an eye on the stickman's position to ensure it ascends vertically at all times, avoiding deviation from the safe path due to operational offsets.
In the advanced stage, it is necessary to master the "classified response to obstacles" skill. Different obstacles have significant differences in movement rhythm: swords and saws mostly perform linear reciprocating motions with predictable patterns, and you can block them accurately when they approach; shurikens and razors are fast with variable trajectories, so it is recommended to frequently tap the shield briefly to expand the defense coverage. As the height increases, the density of obstacles will gradually increase. At this time, you need to abandon the "hard resistance" mindset and prioritize ascending in areas with narrow gaps between obstacles to reduce defense pressure using the terrain. If encountering consecutive groups of obstacles, you can pause briefly to adjust the rhythm, avoiding operational mistakes caused by haste.
The key to high-score sprinting lies in "stable ascent + rational collection". Although diamonds can unlock character customization items, do not blindly chase them—deviating from the ascent path to pick up diamonds often exposes you to more obstacles. It is recommended to only collect diamonds along the way and prioritize ensuring the ascent height. In addition, high scores are directly linked to the continuous ascent time, so maintaining a consistent ascent rhythm is more important than sprinting quickly. After breaking the current record, the difficulty of obstacles in subsequent levels will increase significantly. At this time, you need to reduce the ascent speed, observe the upper obstacle layout every time you ascend a certain distance, and remember that "it's better to be slow than hasty".
Finally, here are two practical tips: first, use diamonds to unlock defensive items—some customized characters can slightly expand the shield's defense range and improve fault tolerance; second, develop the habit of "advance prediction". By observing the laws of obstacle appearance, adjust the shield activation time in advance to form muscle memory. As long as you master the three principles of "accurate prediction, flexible deployment/retraction, and no greed for diamonds", you can steadily break high score records and easily unlock all achievements.
