Guide

Classic Quick Guide

• In Classic mode, battle through increasingly difficult waves of enemies. If your King or Queen dies, it's Game Over.
• Players take turns making moves, with one minute per turn to make decisions. A timer tick occurs every 5 seconds (making moves resets the timer) with your turn ending automatically after 60 seconds (12 ticks).
• Each character can perform a single action; unless a special ability or item permits them otherwise.
• To survive a wave, defeat all enemies while strategically positioning your units along the way.
• To advance to the next wave, press Continue after clearing enemies. Always assess if your remaining forces can handle the next challenge—retreat is sometimes wiser than defeat.
• After every wave pay attention to the golden tiles that appear and disappear. They help indicate the upcoming safe zones
• To appear on the Leaderboard, you must voluntarily END your run while you're still alive. This records your final wave as your score.

Arcade Quick Guide

• To survive a wave, defeat all enemies. To advance, press Continue or click End to record your leaderboard progress / redeem their rewards.
• After every wave golden tiles appear to show you the pathing of the enemies.
