Casually cooperative story mode (1-2 players)

Joink Stikbold! superstars Bjorn and Jerome on a tour through the zany universe as they embark on a co-op adventure to unravel the mysterious disappearance of rival love-interest Heidi Starbrow on the night of the big game! Battle your way through a surprising cast of funky characters and unlikely boss fights.

Playable solo or with your favorite buddy – beat the story, then beat your friend!

Brutally fun local multiplayer brawls (1-6 players)

Put your skills to the ultimate test in the definitive battle of the living room – will you be victorious or go down with a bam… and have your revenge from beyond!

Inspired by the greatest party-game classics, Stikbold! offers accessible but deep gameplay with a great variety of playful twists to spice up the action and keep the party going.
