A fresh page. A whole new fight.

Stick & Swing has been rebuilt around a simple idea: read the attack, make your move, and make every swing count. The First Page is a complete short run with four rooms and one boss.

What’s new

A five-step playable tutorial for movement, sword combos, dashing, blocking, and perfect blocks. Practice is safe, and you can skip straight into a run.
A three-hit sword combo, optional hold-to-attack, clear enemy warnings, guard breaks, and reflected projectiles. Perfect blocks power up your next swing.
Three distinct enemies: the close-range Scrapper, charging Skitter, and ranged Spitter. Inkstones provide cover in the middle rooms.
The Scribbled Brute returns with charges, expanding shockwaves, projectile fans, and a faster second phase.
Choose a meaningful upgrade between rooms: longer reach, quicker dashes, a third-hit burst, stronger swings, more health, or healing perfect blocks.
Room checkpoints, saved reward choices, pause-on-focus-loss, touch controls with aim assist, and a reduced-effects setting.

A new beginning

This release replaces the previous Story and Wave modes, shop, and equipment systems. Old saves are not compatible with the remake; your first visit starts a new run. The First Page is the first playable chapter. More chapters and weapon styles will follow as the game grows.
