Shape Battle LIVE looks like it was drawn in the back of a math notebook: ruled paper, a red margin line, and an army of hand-sketched shapes. Pick a unit card, click your side of the page to put it down, and it heads for the enemy by itself. Gold trickles in while the fight runs, so every choice is about what to buy now versus what to save up for. Knock down the other base to win.

Nine units, each a shape with its own job:

  • Swordsman — the steady front-liner
  • Shield Bearer — a cheap wall that enemies can’t slip past
  • Archer — picks targets off from a distance
  • Head Butter — flings itself at the nearest enemy
  • Barrel Roller — fast, fragile, and explodes on contact (or on death, no matter what)
  • Catapult — stays put and lobs rocks that blast an area, but one hit kills it
  • Fire Swordsman, Venom Archer, Explosive Catapult — upgraded versions that burn, poison and slow, or go out with one last enormous shot

Two ways to play:

  • Vs. computer — real time, with Easy, Normal, and Hard opponents
  • 2 players, one screen — Blue places, then Red places, then the battle runs for 12 seconds. Repeat until a base falls.

Mouse or touch to play; keys 1–9 pick cards and P pauses. Runs in the browser on desktop or phone, in light or dark mode. No download, no account.
