"The Spearman" is a new timekiller based on ragdoll physics. The spear is a throwing, piercing or piercing-chopping polearm weapon. With the help of a spear, a warrior will be able to effectively counter a lot of enemies. Control the Stickman to throw spears at other stickmans. You will be confronted by many enemies: archers, javelin throwers, armored swordsmen and even magicians. Simply drag and drop your finger for targeting and throwing. The power of throwing a spear is always the same, so you only need to aim and specify the direction of the throw. Enemies die from one hit of a spear in the head and body or from two hits of the spear in the legs. In the game there is a store with helmets, several defensive skills and an apple for healing. Write in the comments of your impressions of the Spearman game. Have a good game!
