About the game

Tiny RTS squeezes a real-time strategy match onto a single screen. Your workers mine crystals on their own, so your job is the plan: build a barracks near your headquarters, train an army and march it across the map to knock down the enemy HQ before the computer does the same to you. Twelve maps add rocks to steer around, contested crystal fields and a smarter opponent.

The three unit types form a rock-paper-scissors triangle. Spears break riders, riders run down archers, and archers shoot spears to pieces, dealing double damage to the type they beat. The catch is the fog of war: the map stays dark except around your own units and buildings, so you only know what the enemy is training if you go and look. The top bar remembers the last army you spotted, and on later maps the computer counters what it has seen of yours. Stars reward winning, winning fast and keeping your base healthy.
