What is it?
Cute but evil Flash-based animated game. Stickmen and blood included. Parental Guidance advised.
Is it fun?
Yes! For a half hour or so. Then it gets quite stressful.
Is it worth the price? (Free!)
Just 5 minutes of your time to check it out? Yes.
Why?
It has stickmen and splashy blood effects! What more could you want?
Gameplay is very simple and repetitive yet weirdly addictive – defend your castle by grabbing the invading stickmen with your mouse and flinging them up into the air. When they land, they squelch into a little puddle of blood and die. As you progress through the levels you gather points for survival and for the number of stickmen you kill and the stickmen come at you faster and faster. With battering rams!
The points can be used to upgrade your castle defences, building thicker walls, or a temple to convert the marauding stickmen to your side to give you archers and other military units. Gives you something to strive for when your wrist is giving in to RSI.

June 29th, 2007 at 3:36 pm

June 29th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
oh and another thing is that if u right click and click forward the game freezes then u throw the guys up u want to die then right click and click back they will fall down and die i found that out
July 19th, 2007 at 10:15 am
hey i saw a video on youtube about lvl 97 wooow! they just come out like lighting fast all i see are stick giants dieing
because this guy has 106 wizards, 1300 archers, and 56 carpenters.
the sound affects are funny though because soo many die you can only hear splash squish splosh smash.
by the way i hate those giants becaus you have to either wait for your archers or wizards to kill them.
highest lvl was 46 , 45 was ok and i had 36000 hp but 46 my health went down in droves …dead in 2 min 42 seconds
July 19th, 2007 at 1:52 pm
Wow, that’s pretty impressive! I only play this game casually. Never been anywhere near that level.
July 21st, 2007 at 10:48 pm
How do you use the building add-ons? I bought the Archer add on and the Workshop add on and when I tried to drop the stickmen into the castle where the flags were nothing happened. They just landed next to the castle, outside, and started pounding on it. What is the trick?
August 14th, 2007 at 4:10 am
My People keep dieing but the enemy never attacks my castle
September 18th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Only discovered this recently, as I was getting annoyed by my archers and wizards seemingly randomly dying at the end of a level. At the end of each level, you lose some points for “upkeep” i.e. to maintain your soldiers. After you spend some points at the end of the level, you will say for example be left with 3000 points. However, at the end of the next level, if your existing and any new soldiers have an “upkeep” cost of more than 3000, it will kill enough soldiers to bring the “upkeep” cost down to 3000. Even if you get a million points on a level, if the spendable points you have at the start of a level is less than the upkeep at the end of that level your men will die. Have got bored of this game now, once you pass a critical point (about level 20ish) you have enough wizards to do non-stop converting spells and you then just get a ton of archers and become self sufficient. Got to level 53 once, with 700 archers, 100 wizards and 120 repairers.
September 19th, 2007 at 1:38 pm
Yeah once you hit lvl 20 all you can spend money on is the wall… and with 66 carps and 500+ archers 500,000 hp is pretty unstoppable…
I’m just gonna let it run in the background while I’m at work =P see how long it takes to get to lvl 100 (and if it’ll make it without any more than 500 archers :D
November 7th, 2007 at 6:29 am
Listen…here’s a walkthrough…after a few levels you’ll get 5000 points. BUY A TEMPLE..Convert as many men as you can and save up…you’ll use them later..then do not buy anything until you have 40,000 to buy a mana pool…next buy 8-10 mages, but NO MORE! you will lose most or all of what you get because you dont have the money to fund…keep converting…THEN….next round don’t buy anything big…keep atleast 10,000 so your mages dont die. from here on out try to get 100 mages (which is 20,000 per level), then buy an archery next…still keeping 20,000 atleast for next level…next convert like crazy and build all archers. I am currently at lvl 50 with 600 archers and 150 mages and 10 repairmen…it’s 140,000 per level to keep them all alive but i dont have to do anything anymore my archers kill everything b4 they touch me. good luck playing everyone =) just remember…save up for mana pool first =p
December 11th, 2007 at 2:22 am
I am on 39 with 250 wizards, 550 archer and 105 craftsmen. After that it gets tough to convert since the guys that slip through move so fast, but the best thing to do is build up your wall and any guys you do get put them to archers.
December 11th, 2007 at 4:36 am
How the HELL do u make archers? i buy the archery range but i dunno how to make archers? can sum1 explain.
December 20th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
I made it to level 999 but i cant get past it
probably cuz 999 is the # of the satan and hell
February 4th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
It’s pretty fun!! I have 120 Mages. 150 Archers, 120 Craftsmen at the moment with 225000HP. My health never goes down thanks to my craftsman. I just sit here and watch my archers do all the work. I’m about to add 300 archers though. 4/5
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:56 pm

June 29th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I looked at a recent pic of defend ur casltle and its got a flying dragon breathin fire at the castle?
Has anyone got so far to reach a dragon? If so what level roughly do you encounter it?
It is the same game. I havent made a mistake incase u ask.
June 16th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
you need enough "extra points" to pay your men other wise they will desert you. so dont spend al lof your money inbewttween rounds if you have men
August 6th, 2009 at 1:35 am
Hi guys, – i'm currently on level 67 -My castle is 560000hp I have 1000 archers, 500 mages, and 500 carpenters.
From this point, all you would need to do is update your archers because:
500 Mage is quick enough for multiple conversions
500 Carpenters make a large hp castle virtually indestructable
After a certain point, there may be need to update the carpenters just because of the sheer volume of the stickmen. – PLEASE REPLY TO THE FOLLOWING
Has anyone got as far as either:
The end?
A dragon level?
Any other significant changes?
August 21st, 2009 at 9:01 pm
im on lvl 500 no changes
August 21st, 2009 at 9:02 pm
i don't think it ever ends
