It's pretty fun but the controls were a bit difficult for me, as was the fact that the spears didn't despawn so I couldn't see much.

Spartans faced the forces of Xerxes at Thermopylae. \r\nNow you take control of those Spartans. With no victory in sight, you have to kill as many soldiers as possible. Use ultra advanced tactics like \"Shield Down\" or \"Spear Throw\" to kill those pathetic Xerxenian worms!\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n(They are repeated in the game, just follow the tutorial!)\r\n\r\nUse your mouse to select your Spartans (you know, like in the good old RTS-days)\r\nUse \"A\" and \"D\" to move them left or right.\r\nUse \"1\" to switch your shield stance. (Shields up against arrows, shields down against meele)\r\nUse \"2\" to go into charge mode.\r\nUse \"3\" to throw your javelins. (Don't forget to collect them afterwards!)\r\nUse \"4\" to go into a defensive position (Good against those god damn horseriders!)\r\n\r\nMade by Philipp Haderdauer (@vanHadedane), Thomas Terebesi (@ThomasTerebesi) and Sebastian Reuther (@Sebi_Reu).\r\nAlso a big thanks to Paul Redetzky (@PaulRdy) for the music!\r\n\r\nTweet us a screenshot if you are able to achieve more than 650 kills, because we doubt that is possible. :D\r\n\r\nPLEASE NOTE: The HTML5 version has a few problems, so if you run Windows we recommend the .exe-file. ;)","title":"Tiny Thermopylae"}
