About Boom Stick

A note from the developer



If you ever liked the fast pace and difficulty of old school shooters from the 90s, you should give Boom Stick a try.

Boom Stick takes the Classic Gameplay and boils it down to its key elements, with a few changes that you will like. Most Importantly the shooting is locked to the Y-axis, opening up all sorts of possibilities.

Projectiles only, so Run-n-Gun to your heart's content. Fly around in a Jet-pack, dodging enemy fire and shooting back with classic weapons like Shotguns, Machine Guns, Grenade and Rocket Launchers. Take on Bosses with massive health bars. Do it all as fast as you can, there is a timer on top. Speed-Run maybe.

Since the beginning, this has been a one man project, and although it may not be up to AAA standards, a lot of effort is put into it to make the Gameplay worth the price.

I would appreciate any feedback, and will take it into account to deliver a better experience.

Boom Stick is an abandoned Early Access 3D shooter with lazy minimalist low poly "stick figure" characters and low poly environments, written in Java of all things. Gameplay consisted of basic run and gun shooting of stick figures in a somewhat bland ripoff of DooM, but with all the character and joy taken out of it. The game was abandoned roughly one year after launch and hasn't been updated in around 7 months at the time of this review. It blew past the developers commitment to complete the game, the developer formally admitted they gave up. The game features extremely lazy, minimalist "art", of the type you normally expect to see in low effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a res…

Игра 'Boom Stick' — это настоящий подарок для любителей динамичных шутеров с щепоткой безумия. С первых минут она затягивает своим аркадным геймплеем, где всё крутится вокруг зубодробительной пальбы и постоянного движения. Ощущение от стрельбы просто превосходное – каждое попадание, каждый взрыв ощущаются с должной отдачей. Разнообразие врагов и боссов не дает заскучать, заставляя постоянно импровизировать и менять тактику. А уж арсенал оружия – это отдельная песня! От банальных дробовиков до всякого рода причудливых и совершенно непредсказуемых приспособлений, способных натворить настоящий хаос. Игра не стесняется быть немного абсурдной, и в этом её прелесть. Простая, но в то же время захватывающая история, яркая графика и драйвовый саундтрек дополняют картину, делая 'Boom Stick' отличным выбором для тех, кто хочет отвлечься и просто повеселиться, расстреливая всё, что движется.
