"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.
