Stickman Prison Counter Assault: choose a side in the prison riot
Stickman Prison Counter Assault is a 3D third-person stickman shooter in which two teams, SWAT and Prisoners, fight across a prison complex until the round timer runs out. You pick your side on the first screen: SWAT officers start outside next to their vehicles, while Prisoners start inside the building. Each team's kills add up to a score shown at the top of the screen, and the side with the higher number when the clock hits zero wins. The other stickmen on both teams are computer-controlled bots, not live players, so a round starts the moment you choose a side. You begin with a basic gun such as a pistol and pick up stronger weapons that fallen enemies drop.

The start screen has two control options, Mobile and PC. Pick PC for mouse and keyboard, or Mobile for on-screen buttons.

Click the blue SWAT panel or the orange PRISONERS panel. The choice decides where you spawn and which score your kills count toward.

Hunt the other team
Move with W and S, turn and aim with the mouse, and hold your crosshair on an enemy while clicking. The more hits you land, the sooner the target drops.

What sets Stickman Prison Counter Assault apart
Straight into a round
Two choices — control scheme and team — and you are on the map. There are no loadouts to set up or lobbies to wait in.
Team scores on the top bar
PRIS and SWAT totals sit on either side of the countdown, so you always know whether your side is ahead. In our test round the clock started a little above 11 minutes.
Weapons come from the fight
Upgrades are not bought in a shop. Defeated enemies drop higher-grade guns, so taking fights is also how you upgrade.
Health comes back on its own
There are no health packs to find. Get out of the line of fire and your stickman recovers, and a defeat only costs a short trip back from your spawn.
Tips for Stickman Prison Counter Assault
- Use the containers as cover. The yard is full of shipping containers and barriers; step behind one when your health drops and wait for it to refill.
- Keep moving while you shoot. GamePix notes the aim is forgiving, so staying mobile matters more than a perfect shot.
- Pick up every dropped gun. The pistol you start with is the weakest weapon in the round.
- Watch your personal kill counter. The Your Kills box in the top-right corner tracks your own share of the team score.
- Try both sides. SWAT and Prisoners spawn in different places, so each side sees the prison from a different angle.
Who is Stickman Prison Counter Assault for?
Players who want a shooter without setup
No account, no loadout screen and no matchmaking queue stand between you and the first shot.
Stickman game fans
The stickmen fight in a 3D prison yard with containers, stairs and barriers instead of on a flat 2D stage.
Solo players
Every other fighter is a bot, so you get a full team battle with no one else online.
How a round is won
Kills feed your team's total — PRIS on the left of the timer, SWAT on the right. When the countdown ends, the team with the higher total wins the round. Your own kills appear separately in the Your Kills box, next to a level indicator that starts at LVL 1. Respawns are quick, so after a defeat you are back on the map within moments.
