StickTD gameplay

A small band of stick-figure defenders. One winding road. Whatever comes down it.

Raise a squad from humble beginnings, send it out to meet every wave, and watch your fighters become something worth remembering. Every battle sharpens a defender, every drop opens a new option, and the road keeps growing long after you think you have seen it all.

Features

A band worth building
Swordsmen, archers, mages and a long roster of specialists, each with a job of their own.
Fighters who grow
Every battle shapes who a defender becomes. Train their strengths and unlock new classes along the way.
Fire, lightning and ice
Attune a fighter to an element, or blend two into something rarer.
A road that grows
The map keeps unfolding, so the line you hold is never quite the same twice.
Loot and the unexpected
Gear, food, treasure and passing travelers reward players who pay attention.
Waves that escalate
Small scouts give way to heavy hitters, with a boss to close out each chapter.

The roster

Branch Classes
Melee Swordsman, Axeman, Spearman, Hammerman, Paladin, Berserker, Lancer
Ranged Archer, Marksman, Sniper, Blowdart, Blow Gunner, Dual Squirt Gun, Gatling, Crazy Chef
Magic and support Mage, Snap Caster, Cleric, Pope, Necromancer
Explosives and guns Bomber, Cowboy, Glaive
Special Ninja, Cat Snapper, Merchant, Hacker
Structures Barricade, Log Mill, Stone Quarry

Elements

Fire, lightning and ice answer to a fighter's training. Blend two and something rarer wakes up: Proton, Dark Matter and Quasar. They belong to the fighters who earn them, never to the build menu.

Your pace, your way

A lone barricade stands watch at the finish when the first wave rolls in. From there, set the speed, choose your moment, and play on a phone or a computer with touch or mouse. Save a run to a file and pick it up whenever you like.

Get the game

Play instantly in a browser, or install a build for Windows, macOS, Linux or Android from the Releases page. Every download is published with checksums and a build attestation, so you can confirm exactly what you are running.

On iPhone or iPad, open the game in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. It gets its own icon and fills the screen like an app.

Made with

HTML5 Canvas, plain JavaScript and the Web Audio API. Every picture is drawn by code and every sound and piece of music is synthesized in the browser. The whole game is one index.html with no libraries, no build step and no image or audio files.
