Show HN: War of Sticks – Free Online Medieval Stickman Strategy Game

https://mergebrainrot.com
1•liualexander112•2h ago
I built War of Sticks, a free browser-based medieval stickman strategy game. The idea was to combine fast-paced battles with resource management and tactical decisions, but still keep it simple enough to play instantly without downloads.

What you can do: Train miners to gather gold and stone Convert stone into gold for more resources Recruit units like shielders, archers, barbarians, and wizards Build and upgrade defensive towers Lead your army to destroy enemy bases and free your people from the Red Empire Features: 3 difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Impossible Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers Also available on Google Play and App Store No downloads required, play instantly online Family‑friendly, suitable for all ages Why I made this I grew up playing simple stickman games and wanted to create a modern version with strategy depth but the same instant accessibility. The game is built to run smoothly in the browser and be playable even on school or work networks (unblocked).

Would love feedback from the HN community on gameplay balance, performance across devices, and ideas for future unit types or mechanics.
