Troop Run

How to play

1. Start with one blue soldier and grow your squad along the bridge. The road moves automatically; drag left or right, or hold the arrow keys, to steer. Your troops fire automatically.
2. Choose one side of each number gate. Addition and multiplication grow your squad; subtraction and division reduce it. Division rounds down. Standing on the centre line selects the right gate.
3. Enemy waves span the road and shoot orange bullets at your lane. Move sideways to dodge; each bullet hit removes one soldier. Shoot waves before they reach you; each remaining enemy removes one troop on contact. The run ends when your squad reaches zero.
4. Numbered blue targets are optional. Align your squad with a target to shoot it. Clearing its displayed health awards 15 troops; passing it does not damage you.
5. Survive the final wave and reach the finish to clear a stage. Completing a stage opens the next of three stages. Best surviving squad size is remembered in this browser when storage is available.
6. The squad counter is exact; at most 40 soldiers are drawn for readability, with a maximum squad size of 500. Pause is available at any time. Leaving the tab pauses the run. Reloading starts a fresh run and preserves completed-stage progress.
7. Troop Run is an original Solo prototype inspired by the supplied troop-runner images. It has no base building, merging, online battles, or competitive ranking.

Keyboard: Focus the road. Hold Left / Right or A / D to steer. Space pauses or resumes. Use Tab and Enter to reach Start, stage selection and other controls.
