About the Game

Stick Wars: The Laneborn is a 2D strategy game where you don't micromanage every unit: you make macro decisions that win or lose the match: when to spend gold, which lane to reinforce, when to upgrade, and how to use your champion.

Three lanes, one objective
TOP, MID, and BOT clash in real time. Minions, towers, and enemy waves advance automatically while you build numbers and crack their defenses.

Economy and deployment
Earn gold over time and from kills. Deploy Soldiers, Archers, and Commanders on the lanes you choose, balancing cooldowns and costs, every call matters.

Your champion: the Warlock
Summon Wraiths, harvest souls from the fallen, and raise skeleton warriors and archers. Rotate lanes at the right moment to save a losing push.

The enemy boss: the Minotaur
Face an enemy champion that levels up, analyzes lanes, and unlocks deadlier abilities as the fight escalates.

In-match progression
Kills, XP, and level-ups for units and structures. Enemy towers and bases grow stronger over time: keep up or fall behind.
