Giant Rush! is a hyper-casual, running game in which the player helps a stickman collect strength and navigate around obstacles on a track.
The stickman is a hero who defeats enemies when he grows from normal to giant size by collecting other stickmen, known as blobs, standing on the track. He starts the race with a specific body color. The player must maneuver him through similar blobs to achieve a larger size. The stickman runs through lights that change his color as well, which means the player must then alter his direction to run through blobs of the new color. They must also deal with dangerous or deadly obstacles, including solid brick walls and moving spiked traps and turnstiles, and collect purple gemstones to acquire boosters that make the run easier, and special hats, shoes and kicks. They can collect keys too to win gemstones and gear as rewards.
Once the stickman reaches the end of the track, preferably as a giant warrior wearing a golden crown, the player helps him beat another stickman in a boxing match. If the stickman wins, he kicks the opponent down a multiplier track. With each new level, the stickman faces off against larger enemies until he reaches a Giant King boss enemy.
