:joystick: HOW TO PLAY :joystick:


*Push* *crystals* into *machines* to *power* them.

*Power* your *obelisk* to increase its tier.

Increasing your *obelisk's* tier will release a pulse of energy, killing all nearby enemies, and cracking nearby walls.

*Power* *mining machines* and then push them into cracked walls to *mine* them.

Use *pushers* in order to automate the powering of other machines.

Watch out for *slugs*! They'll try to attack your *obelisk*. Stand near them to attack them!

Remember, you can also kill *slugs* by tiering up your *obelisk*. And maybe you'll find some machines that can help you fend them off too...

*Tier up your obelisk as much as you can, and don't let the slugs reach your obelisk!*

*Please post your high scores in the comments! I'll be super impressed if anybody makes it to tier 7.*
