## What is Pixel Battleline?

Reshape the battleline. Choose your gates. Hold the line.

Pixel Battleline is a minimalist arcade strategy game where your formation is your survival. Command a small army across three lanes, shift your battleline on the fly, and survive fast runs where one bad split can break everything.

Every run is about positioning, timing, and pressure. Spread your army wide to cover space. Compress into tighter formations to pass through danger. Choose gates that can upgrade your firepower, shift your formation, protect your soldiers, or put the entire run at risk.

PLAY TWO MODE FAMILIES

Survival
Race the timer. Hold formation long enough to survive the full run.

Annihilation
Break the enemy line by wearing down enemy strength before your army collapses.

TACTICAL GATES

Gates change the run as you play. Pick up firepower, protection, formation shifts, and other tactical effects — but choose badly and your army may be split, weakened, or trapped under pressure.

FORMATION-BASED ARCADE STRATEGY

Your army is not just a score counter. It occupies space. Its shape matters. Wide lines, tight columns, layered ranks, and other formations each create different trade-offs in mobility, coverage, and survival.

THREE WAR WORLDS

Fight through three current battle identities:

WAR
Fast arcade pressure, projectiles, gates, and enemy formations.

COLD STEEL
Close-range pressure where formation and spacing matter even more.

HORSE & MUSKET
Cavalry, cannons, volleys, and battlefield chaos.

BUILT FOR FAST RUNS

Pixel Battleline is designed for short, tense sessions:
- quick starts
- instant restarts
- escalating pressure
- readable pixel tactics
- no account required
- no data collected

Can you hold the line?

More content, worlds, and refinements are planned for future updates.
