About This Game

Hold the ridge

Enemy armies march in from every corner, climb the stairs, and later come ashore by boat. Gather wood and gold, raise your settlement, train your troops, and keep the castle standing in this cute 2D strategy game.

Build between the waves

When the field is quiet, your workers chop wood and mine gold. Add houses, barracks, an archery range, towers, and a monastery. Warriors hold the stairs. Archers shoot from the roofs. Monks keep the line alive.

Pick your banner

Choose a team before the first wave. Each banner changes the opening: more supplies, cheaper buildings, stronger soldiers, or a harder start. Save the run and come back when the next wave is waiting.

On the map

  • One handcrafted ridge of cliffs, stairs, and choke points
  • A full campaign of waves, from small packs to late assaults by land and boat
  • A working village — wood, gold, population, and training
  • Stairs and rooftops — warriors meet the enemy on level ground, archers hold the roofs
  • Five banners, each with its own starting rule
Grow the village if you want. Just don't let the castle fall.
Build. Train. Hold the castle.
