Mine supply, train a stick-figure army and storm the enemy HQ. Command the whole line or take control of any soldier.

Stickline: Modern Front is a real-time strategy game about a single front line. Engineers haul supply from depots, and every unit you train costs supply: riflemen, gunners, snipers, medics, rocketeers, mortars, tanks and drones. Give the whole army one order, from holding the midfield to an all-out attack, or tap any soldier to fight as them yourself.

A twenty-level campaign of fifteen battles and five raids brings rain, fog, snow, sandstorms and night battles that change range, speed and accuracy for both sides. Three boss levels, two of them against the Goliath, a super-heavy tank with twin cannons. The AI gets the same prices and income as the player, with no hidden bonuses.

Art, sound and music are all made in code by the studio. The whole game is a single web page under 300 KB, with synthesized weapons, explosions and an adaptive march that builds during firefights.
