Differences[]
There are a number of differences in the web and mobile versions of Stick Ranger. This includes:
- There are sound effects in the mobile version but none in the web version. Each class of character has their own unique sound effect when attacking, such as the Gladiator emitting a whooshing sound when swinging his sword. Each of the specific types also makes a sound effect when they are used against an enemy, such as Fire type weapons making a "burning" sound.
- Mist, heat wave and snowing effects can be toggled in the mobile version which is not possible at the web version.
- The full inventory is accessed by tapping on the tab to raise the bottom of the screen. As a result, weapons cannot be traded out while paused.
- If a stickman is dead, it turns a gray color and a red "DEAD" message appears. Similarly, a level up, or more specifically, any increase in SP, is represented in flashing green letters under the player icons in the menu.
- An exp bar is present above the inventory instead of the plain numbers in the online version.
