How to Play

• Start by selecting a map from the New Game menu, then choose your difficulty level: Easy, Normal, or Hard. More difficult levels provide higher rewards but tougher enemies.
• You begin with 200 gold, 20 lives, and a 25-second timer before the first wave. Use this planning time to build initial defenses.
• Select a tower type from the sidebar or use number keys (0-9) to quickly choose. Move the green preview box using arrow keys to position your tower.
• Press B or click to place your tower. Each tower has a different cost, range, damage, and special abilities. Choose placement carefully to cover the enemy paths.
• Enemies will follow predetermined paths across the map. Your towers automatically shoot enemies within their range. Each kill grants gold bonuses.
• Use earned gold to build more towers and upgrade existing ones. Each tower can be upgraded 6 levels, increasing damage, range, and speed.
• Some towers have special abilities: Frost slows enemies, Laser deals massive damage in a line, Anti-Air targets flying enemies, Boost enhances nearby towers.
• Press N or click the Next Wave button to spawn the next wave when ready. As waves progress, enemies become more numerous and powerful.
• Different enemy types require different strategies: Normal enemies are balanced, Fast enemies move quickly, Immune enemies resist certain damage types, Flying enemies bypass some towers.
• If an enemy reaches the end of the path (marked by a target), you lose 1 life. Lose all 20 lives and it's Game Over.
• Later waves include Boss enemies - extremely tough units that require concentrated firepower. Prepare your best defenses for these encounters.
• Sell towers (S key) to recover partial gold investment if you need to rebuild your strategy. Lock towers (L key) to prevent accidental sales.
• Continue defending through all 22+ waves. Your final score depends on remaining lives, bonus time, and total gold earned.
• Compete for high scores on each map and difficulty combination. Restart and try different tower strategies to optimize your defenses.
