-Lake Effect-
StickBo is more than a mindless run-and-gun shooter. While there’s nothing like mowing the lawn with the Mini-Gun or scorching the earth with the Flamethrower, the cover system enables you to employ strategy to complete each wave. Based on your performance, you will be awarded The Medal of Honor (complete wave with > 90% health), a Service Medal (complete wave with > 50% health), or a Purple Heart.
StickBo's wave-based auto-save and simple interface is not only perfect for a quick game when you have a spare moment, but also allows for hours of seamless game play. As an added bonus, the wave selection option allows you to start the game from any wave you have previously completed.
====The Weapons====
M16:
The M16 is your default weapon. Its accuracy and 3 shot burst will eliminate enemies one-by-one.
Bowie Knife:
StickBo’s bread and butter. He was given this as a child. It hasn’t left his side.
AK-47: Awarded at Wave 4
The fully automatic AK-47 will give the enemy a taste of their own medicine.
Frag Grenades: Awarded at Wave 6
Level enemies and their assets with a well placed fragmentation grenade.
Shotgun: Awarded at Wave 11
The multi-kill special, clear a line of enemies with one pull.
50 Cal. Sniper Rifle: Awarded at Wave 21
Take cover and blast through everything; with speed and accuracy they'll never see it coming.
Flamethrower: Awarded at Wave 31
Unleash your inner pyro. This thing’s hotter than ChickBo.
Mini-Gun: Awarded at Wave 51
Heaves lead like no other. Rounds tear through multiple enemies at a time.

Community Insight:
We would love to relive a piece of our childhood with this game. We hope the developers can see this and update it soon ;(.
Our favorite game from when we were little, please update so we can play again. We miss it.
We remember playing this game when we were younger and it was incredible! Loved everything about it. Now its years later and was going through some of our old purchases and found this game, its sad to see you cant play this anymore before of old software. Please update this game and give it a second life.
Plz update it bring this game back Ive been looking for it and it took us a hour and now we cant play plz update it.
We think you will enjoy because this game is very simple.
We played this game alot when growin up, and we wished we could replay it, but im on the latest IOS, pleasw update.
We loved this game and we got a new iPad now we cant play it.
This is a great game, but please update! We recently got a new device and now we cant play because Im using iOS 11. Amazing game, just update please, even though you wont… :(.
We grew up playing this game and stick fu and this is probably the best one yet.
We are downloading this game right now and by just looking at the pictures we can already tell it is going to be BOSS.
This game is ssssoooo addicting plz download it, it's BOSS.
FUN GAME we ALSO HAVE TRIGGER FIST AND STICKBO ZOMBIES.
It need a car that you can run over on you bad guys.
* you if not like your a totle * ***.
HEY GUYS STICKBO ROCKS!!!!!!:).
We loooove it!!! That guys right ther should be co-op And team deathmach like theres 2 teams and u hav to capture the flag from the base But anyway it gets boring after awhile but still very awsome!!!! LOL: ).
This is the most fun game we ever played!!!! Why couldn't the game be longer? When you complete the game it goes to round 30 we think? The sniper is sick!!!! ^_^.
Put the pro version free But other wise it's fun.
It's ok but needs better graphics.
Math is better than this… And we hate math.
You'll play it for 5 minutes then they'll tell you beat it and try to sell you on the "full" version. Knock it off. Waste of time. SCAM.
We know someone spent time making this game but its not fun.
We're just glad this is a great game that's free to play.
You haters hate it because you DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY!!! Rate 5 stars! (OR ELSE!…) (also can u PLEASE MAKE A ONLINE VEIRSION!?) (online means fight other people that are playing in teams or just a free for all) (we'd like you to call the free for all called All for one) and team battle called team deathmatch and teams will be called stickbros(good guys) and invabos (in-vae-boes) (badguys). Also LOVE IT.
It was a best game that we played.
This app is soooo fun. The only bad thing is we can't die. We take 1/15 of our health then it refreshes.
This is a great app!! We are so lucky we go it when it was 99 cents.
One of the best apps ever we got.
Hard to put down even for a minute.
This was one of the first apps that we ever downloaded. We dont really play it too often anymore. As an intresting side note, this app actually is one of the only 2 apps that our dad has ever played! (The other being Extreme Road Trip).
We though there was other levels.
The game is so good that we deleted it then got again so we could play the free version then we bought it!!!! :).
Still lik it we fugured it out……….. :).
This game is the best game we ever downloaded.
EPIC,COOL,FUN we stickbo :) love it we have stick Bo zombies & this 1.
Everything is awesome just wish It was harder.
For all those who rate this lower than 5 stars: THIS IS THE BEST APP EVER!!! So awesome! Machine gun! Grenades! Listen to music in ur IPod library!! Worth getting.
Guns Ballistic knife Ray gun Sword Shield Pistols M1 carbine Fg42 Grenade launcher Gaili Fn fal. Achievements Perks: Speed cola (makes u reload fastr Invulnerable perk (for 10 sec) Insta kil enemie dies In 1 shot (20 sec Is this asking to much but if u can mak an option that is a first person shooter it would be da best thing EVER If u can't at least do some of the guns Then it will be 5 stars.
We got so addicted hard to stop playing.
The game overall was excellent, but there were not many waves, also you should make it so you collect money to buy new guns or upgrades or mines an stuff, you should also make a game mode ware you make a battlefield like you can plant mines before hand and make ammo supplies and a tank then play the game with the stuff you placed.
After 1 minute we were bored as hell. On Hollywood u don't even have to kill the people. On hardcore we were too bored to carry on. Waste of time.
It is so boring can some one make a real rambo app thats fun its the worst game ever.
Not only is this game incredibley fun addicting and just overall awesome, it isn't one of those adventure games that you can whip through in 5 mins. You have to work hard to complete each level and it is very entertaining.
Ok but really boring if u want better get stickbo zombies.
This would have been a boring game even back on the Atari 2600 in 1985. We can't believe a programmer could stay awake long enough to make such a boring game. It is too easy, too repetitive, unpleasant to look at, overly simplistic, and annoying to listen too. There is no reason for this game to have ever been created. We wish we could get the 10 minutes back we spent playing it. We are deleting it and regret that the hard drive on our iPhone was tainted with it's existence. Good name though.
Get the full version we dare you mwahahahahahaha.
4117….. That is our kill streaks.
This game is awesome.we love it.
Stick Bo ( full version ) and stick Bo zombies ( full version ) should have multiplayer were you can invite people to play and help you through the levels.
