A twenty-minute strategy game. In your browser, for two or four players.

Gather gold and wood, build barracks, raise an army and flatten your opponent's castle. It's a classic old-school real-time strategy game: two resources, a few unit types, one castle — no installation and no launcher. Play one on one, or play 2v2 with a teammate against two opponents.

Playing against the computer doesn't need an account. It starts right in this tab.

What it looks like

Screenshots straight from the game. Click an image to enlarge it.

A battle at your teammate's yellow castle: yellow defenders clash with a purple army attacking from the right. Meanwhile, workers carry gold from the mine. — A 2v2 battle — you and a teammate against two opponents.

The blue base: a castle, barracks with soldiers, farms and a tower. Workers carry wood and walk to the gold mine. — Mine gold and wood, build barracks and towers.

A 2v2 room on parchment: two ready players on team A, two computer players on Normal difficulty on team B, with the map and a Play button below. — Create a room, invite your friends — the computer fills the empty spots.

The blue army at the red castle. Where you can't see, the map is dimmed or black; the minimap on the left also shows the area around your teammate's base. — You only see what your team sees.

Red spearmen and warriors attack a blue tower by the castle. The tower fires, the defenders line up by the barracks, and a second tower stands nearby. — Towers fire at anyone who gets close to the base.

End of the match: a parchment reading Victory over a dimmed battlefield, with the victorious blue and yellow armies standing beside it. — The opponent's last building has fallen. Victory!

The Code a bot page: on the left an editor with JavaScript and a Commands tab with help, a minimap in the middle, and on the right a blue castle where workers mine gold following the code you wrote. — Code a bot: write a bot in JavaScript and watch it play.

Runs in a browser tab

No installation, no launcher, no plugin. The game runs right in your browser, on your laptop or at work during a break.

Everyone sees the same battle

The simulation is deterministic and runs the same for all players — the server only passes along orders and keeps comparing checksums. No "it turned out differently for me".

Close the tab and come back

Does your internet drop, or do you close the window by accident? The match pauses for a minute and waits for you. When you come back, the game plays through what you missed, and you carry on where you left off.

Playing with a friend takes three steps

You don't look for anyone in a queue, and you don't connect anywhere by IP address. A room has a code. Send the code, and whoever has it can play.

1

Create a room

You pick a map and whether it's 1v1 or 2v2. You can lock the room with a password so no strangers drop in.
2

Send your friend the code

Six characters in a chat. Nobody has to sign up for anything or download anything.
3

Play

Once everyone is ready, the match starts. In 2v2, the computer fills the empty spots. It takes about twenty minutes.

Try it on your own first

Against the computer, you choose from four difficulty levels, and the opponent plays a little differently every time. It's a good place to learn how to build before you invite someone real.

Or play 2v2: you and a computer teammate against two computers.

You only need an account when you want to play against people — for the leaderboard and match history, we need to know who is who.

Learn to code in the game

Write a bot in real JavaScript, right in your browser — nothing to install and no account needed. There are 8 tasks starting from the very beginning, so it suits kids as well as parents and teachers who want to teach them programming.

Your bot first plays against an opponent that only defends. Once you manage that, challenge the real computer levels or a friend's bot.

You code on a computer — on a phone, only a short message shows up instead of the editor.

An account is only for playing against people

It takes a minute and unlocks three things that can't be done properly without an account:

A nickname nobody can take from you.
Match history — who played whom, when, and how it ended.
A leaderboard from ranked games, next to an unranked mode for casual play.
