Stickman Army: The Defenders is a lane defence game. You place stickman soldiers on a grid to stop waves of red enemy stickmen before they reach the building on the left. It is a game of choosing where to spend your energy and which units to bring into each battle.
How to play
Before a level starts, you pick your units on the Landing Assistant screen. Each unit shows bars for health, speed and attack. During the level, your chosen units sit in a bar at the top left with their energy cost, such as 100 for a gunner and 50 for a stickman with a red baton. Click a unit, then click a square on the grid to place it.
Enemies walk in from the right side of the grid. A progress bar at the top shows how far through the wave you are. Wooden crates with energy cans drop onto the field. Collect them to get more energy for new units. Don't let the enemies get past your line to the building.
Controls
- Mouse: click a unit card, then click a grid square to place it
- Mouse: click energy crates to collect them
- x1 / x2 buttons (bottom right): change the game speed
- Pause button (top right): pause the game
Tips
- Pick up energy crates as soon as they land so you can afford more units.
- Look at the health, speed and attack bars on the Landing Assistant screen to decide which units suit a level.
- Watch the right edge of the grid for enemy markers so you know which row needs defending.
- Only use the x2 speed button once your defence is set up and holding.
Who it's for
Suits older children and teenagers who like strategy and tower defence games. Early levels look gentle, but later levels will need some planning.
