TLDR:

Mouse over resources dropped by defeated giants to collect them.  It costs 3 Wood to Craft a Spear for a Hoplite, and 2 Wood and 2 Stone to Craft a Bow for an Archer.  Click on the craft buttons to spend resources and spawn units.  See how long you can hold out and have fun.

Story

It is the Gigantomachy, a War of Ancient Greece.  The Gods of Olympus battle the Giants.

Play as Hephaestus, the God of Smithing.  Forge weapons to spawn troops and face the Giants on the battlefield.

Gameplay

Collect the resources dropped by the defeated giants with your mouse and click on the crafting buttons to spawn Hoplites and Archers.

Crafting a Spear costs 3 Wood and spawns a Hoplite.  Hoplites are your frontline troops.  They will form up to hold the line.

Crafting a Bow costs 2 Wood and 2 Stone and spawns an Archer.  Archers attack from a distance, but don't stand a chance in close range.  Use your Hoplites to hold the line and protect your Archers.

Can you hold out until Olympus arrives?
