Play as a powerful mage as you fight to protect the tree that gives you your powers. Explore different areas, find ancient ruins, and fight formidable foes while you progress through the game building you defenses!
READ THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY!
==========================
A lot of people are a bit confused when first starting the game, so to help out, here's some basic instructions that would have been in a tutorial if we'd had time:
1. You are not confined to the tree area. Once you have some good defenses placed around your tree, feel free to explore a bit and push the enemies back.
2. There is a final boss at the spawner for each enemy type. Defeating this boss will unlock the next enemy type and give you bonus gold (and maybe a new powerup). Watch out though! Different enemies may attack from different directions!
3. The music is directly tied to your tree's health. If the music starts to fade back, you might want to teleport to your tree to defend it. Remember that your attacks deal more damage when your tree has more health!
4. Wards and turrets: Turrets shoot enemies, wards slow them down so that your turrets can pick them off.
5. There are 4 special spells. The "R" spell (green) heals the tree when you are close to it. The "F" spell (purple) teleports you back to your tree. The "E" spell (yellow) shoots a piercing spell. The "Q" spell (orange) shoots spells in all directions.
NOTE: You might want to look at the screenshots and or start up the game, and come back to these points so you are able to put 2 and 2 together between the game and these points.
Thanks for reading, we hope you enjoy this game as much as we do! :heart:
