Mr Stickman Gunner

Fire a shot in Mr Stickman Gunner and the recoil doesn't just shake your aim, it shoves your whole stickman across the screen. That's the twist: the more powerful the weapon, the harder you get thrown, so lining up your next kill means fighting your own gun as much as the enemy in front of you.

There are more than 40 levels here, each one asking you to clear out every enemy on screen before you can move on. You'll misjudge a shot, go flying into a wall, and immediately want to try again just to see if you can land the next one clean. That loop is exactly why you'll keep clicking replay.

Controls are dead simple, just mouse or touch, so nothing stands between you and the next attempt. No blood, no gore, just stick figures bouncing around from their own weapons, which keeps this one comfortably silly. If you're into Stickman games with a bit of physics chaos thrown in, this one earns its spot alongside Playground Man! Ragdoll Show!.

It plays right in your browser, free, with nothing to install, so it's an easy pick when you've got a few minutes and want something in the Bullet Games space that actually makes you think about physics, not just reflexes.

Clear every enemy on the level before you can move on to the next one, all the way through more than 40 stages. Use the mouse or touch to aim and fire at the stickmen in your way.

Each shot pushes your character backwards, and stronger weapons throw you further, so your aim shifts right after you pull the trigger. Plan your shot with that kickback in mind rather than fighting it.

Tip: after a big shot, wait a beat and let the recoil settle before firing again, it's easier to land your next hit once you know where you've landed.
