[edit] About
Stick Ranger (often abbreviated to SR) is an action RPG Java game created by programmers hired by ha55ii. It was released as V1.0 (ALPHA) on July 18th, 2008. The official description of this game is given as "Four stickman of adventure!". In the game, the player controls four characters with the mouse, dragging them in a similar fashion as in Irritation Stickman, but without the timer on holding the character. These characters wander about, defeating enemies they encounter and passing through levels to reach bosses. The levels are all optional (you can drag any player to the next sign to skip levels), but to unlock the following stage the player has to kill the boss at the end of each stage. For a long time the final goal of the game was to kill the Castle Boss located in the Castle. With the addition of stages after the Castle, the final stage is currently shifting to different stages. Even after this final stage has been accomplished, the player can still continue playing to improve their characters and collect more weapons and items.
[edit] Saving your game
Your progress in Stick Ranger is saved automatically while you are playing. Every time you leave a stage by using the "next" sign, a message in the lower left appears which says "save OK". It tells you your game has been saved to your browser cookies. However cookie data can easily get lost, deleted, cleared by privacy settings of your browser, and sometimes even get lost during version updates for Stick Ranger. Because of this it is highly recommended to save your save games on your own by using the Get and Set mechanism in a regular manner. Note that you need a Dan-Ball account to use Get and Set.
