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 fifteen-level campaign 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 plays by the same rules as the player: the same prices, the same income, no hidden bonuses.

Art, sound and music are all made in code by the studio. The whole game is a single web page under 250 KB, with synthesized weapons, explosions and an adaptive march that builds during firefights.
