About Stick Army
The units are stick figures and the ground they cross is not safe. You move them forward, you throw up defences as the situation changes, and you try to be a step ahead of whatever is coming at you.
It sits between an arcade game and a strategy game. There is enough going on that a plan helps, but not so much that you get time to draw one up, so most choices are made at speed. It plays upright at 600 by 800 and works on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Send your stick soldiers along the route.
- Build defences where the enemy will arrive.
- Steer the army clear of the hazards on the ground.
- Hold the line until the wave is beaten.

Tips
- Build before the enemy is on you. Anything placed during a fight arrives too late to matter.
- Keep the army together. A split force loses both halves against the same number of enemies.
