Game Play

Basics

Shoot at the aliens.

Reload your weapon in between waves or whenever you run out of ammo.

While you are reloading you can not shoot the enemy, however you can use the power up attacks.

Move around to avoid getting hit.

Move left or right quickly to evade most enemy shots & jump to throw.

Guns

This game has 8 different guns.

You start the game with the pistol equipped, but can purchase the other 7 weapons with better guns being more expensive & generally being able to carry more ammo (with the exception of the low-ammo bazooka).

Your gun automatically reloads to full if you run out of ammo, but you can not shoot while it is reloading.

You can manually trigger a reload while you still have some ammo left in order to refill your ammo faster.

Large ammo storage can be a double edge sword.

A lot of ammo means you rarely have to reload, but if you wait until you are empty to reload you will then take a long time to reload.

If you are busy reloading and are about to get hit by an enemy consider dropping a landmine or using one of the other mana based attacks.

A table below highlights the details for each weapon type.

Power Ups

You can lay landmines, drop missiles, and install a temporary machine gun.

These features can be upgraded with the initial upgrade costing 40 coins and the peak upgrade costing 225 coins. For each purchase coins you get

10% more damage from your landmines

10% more damage from your missiles (at the 100, 150 & 200 coin upgrade levels you add a new bomb rather than doing more damage per bomb)

the machine gun lasting 10% longer

Power ups and towers can be upgraded 10 times each.

The coin upgrades for most towers & power ups have a cost range similar to the following sequence: 40, 60, 80, 100, 110, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225.

For mines it is 40, 50, 80, 120, 130, 150, 175, 220, 250.

For missiles it is 40, 50, 80, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 210, 250.

For machine guns it is 50, 60, 70, 100, 110, 120, 140, 150, 200, 250.

These power ups use mana.

Each mine you drop costs 20 mana.

Missiles cost 50 mana.

Using the machine gun costs 80 mana.

You start each level with 100 mana, can hold a maximum of 100 mana, & it restores over time after use.

When you use a power up you need sufficient mana to use it again AND you have to wait a few seconds for that power up to recharge to be available again.

Towers

There are three towers in this game you can upgrade: an aircraft gun, a robo-factory, and a mana tower.

The mana tower is available immediately
