Introducing the new shield system
The shield system is now available and allows you to play as a tank.
It will make your stickman more robust (+100 HP Bonus and +25 armor) during the whole game.

The shield system arrives with the first shield called the Spartan Shield.



It has a blocking skill that will increase your armor by +150 points for 1.5 seconds.
If timed properly, you will be able to mitigate heavy damage and resist most light weapons (knives, stones, and even bows).

To celebrate the release of the shield system I also released a new skin for the short sword called "Kopis". It was mainly used during the Antiquity by the Greeks.



This update comes after a relative period of inactivity and I hope you will like it.

I'm looking forward to seeing you in-game!

New Year's Eve Letter + Update!
Stickmen!

It's been a great year for the BattleStick 2 community, a year of the release of BS2, highlighting vast differences compared to BattleStick.

BattleStick 2 was created with the intention of modernizing 2D graphics by upgrading to Phaser 3, learning from some technical and marketing mistakes, and of course adding more features. It took about 9 months of development till the Closed Beta Testing release on 24th April 2020, and the final revised Steam release on 24th September 2020.

While still being a relatively small community and not growing at an accelerated rate, the game is steadily growing, showing no major signs of slowing down.

We acknowledge our mistakes in areas such as balancing items and performance issues, but together we managed to resolve many of them thanks to your dedicated feedback!

Our efforts are focused on the usual of adding new items, fixing bugs, balancing issues, and making the game grow. We will be publishing gameplay videos on the BS1 and BS2 YouTube channels soon.

[CHANGELOG] V2.1.0 — NEW YEAR'S EVE PATCH

- Added new headgear : New Year's Hat
- Reworked Daggers : increased damage inflicted from 125 to 145
The staff of BattleStick 2 wish you prosperity throughout the coming year of 2021. Thank you for your support in keeping the game going on!
