• Game Play
  • Basics
    • This is a tower defense game where you place archers on archery towers to shoot at & defeat incoming orcs.
      • Your towers automatically fire at orcs passing by.
      • You can let some orcs past and still win the levels, but you can not let too many orcs past.
    • The strategy in this game comes in deciding where to place archery towers, and weighing tower upgrades versus adding more towers.
  • Tower Types
    • Each tower starts off the same with the basic archer costing 100 coins.
      • Each level starts you off with at least a couple hundred coins.
      • More coins are earned as time passes and as you defeat orcs.
    • Whenever you upgrade a tower it shows the cost of the next tower type.
      • The fire tower costs 200.
      • The snow tower costs 300.
      • The skeleton tower costs 400, which is the maximum tower level.
    • If you can afford a tower upgrade the number is shown in green.
  • Levels
    • This game has 10 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can’t go back and replay previously beat levels without starting the game over.
      • After defeating the tenth and final level clicking on the “next level” button returns you to the welcome screen.
    • Winning vs losing
      • You win a level by defeating most of the orcs and surviving all the waves.
      • You lose a level if too many orcs make it into the castle.
      • This game allows you to replay any failed levels.
  • Tips
    • Initial tower placement strategy
      • You want to lay your initial towers near where the orcs enter the stage so you immediately do damage to them.
      • Place towers closer to the castle after you earn points and enemies have passed your initial defenses.
    • Tower upgrade strategy
      • Try to upgrade towers that the enemies have not yet passed if there are many enemies on the screen (e.g. upgrade the towers closest to the castle) so that the orcs will have to pass through the upgraded line of fire.
        • In general it makes sense to lay towers and upgrade as soon as you can afford to because each missed shot is potentially lost points (by not defeating an orc) and a potential orc escape.
      • Other areas to focus your upgrades on would include towers:
        • on entry paths which are close to the castle where there is only one tower before the castle
        • near paths taken by many enemies
        • in positions that can shoot onto multiple parallel paths
        • in positions where orcs from multiple different paths converge
      • Since each upgrade of a particular tower costs more than upgrading weaker towers it is usually worth upgrading many towers in parallel rather than heavily upgrading a single tower.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like simple tower defense games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
