King Of The Hill
A real-time control-point strategy game against an adaptive AI. Deploy runners, guards and artillery to capture three hills, drain the enemy tickets and choose a boon after each round.
King Of The Hill is a compact real-time strategy game about holding ground. Three hills sit on the battlefield. Every hill you own drains the enemy's ticket bar each second, owning all three drains it faster, and every unit that dies costs its side tickets too. Spend energy to deploy runners, guards or artillery from your side of the field, then tap a hill to send them there. A rally button redirects your whole army to the hill you are losing.
The three units form a counter triangle. Guards crush runners, runners sprint past defenders to hunt artillery, and artillery shells break up clumps of guards. The computer opponent reads the same triangle: it counts what you have near each hill, counter-picks, retakes weak hills, banks energy for combined pushes and later sends runners to chase your guns. Each round it gets a little stronger, with more energy, tougher units and quicker reactions. After every win you pick a boon, such as faster energy, fortified guards, fleet boots, longer artillery barrels, field medics or extra starting tickets.
It suits players who enjoy quick tactical decisions on desktop or phone, with rounds that last a minute or two. Tip: watch which unit the AI is stacking near a hill and answer with its counter instead of spamming one type. Your furthest round is saved.
How to play
Pick a unit card (1, 2 or 3), then click or tap a hill or your half of the field to deploy it, spending energy. Hold hills to drain enemy tickets, and fight so the AI loses units. Guards beat runners, runners beat artillery, artillery beats guards. Reduce the enemy tickets to zero to win the round and choose a boon. If your tickets hit zero the run ends.
