You have a choice of 4 maps and can also create your own maps in Aesprite or a similar pixel tool.
How to play the game
Once you have selected a map in the launcher, you can play it. The principle is simple. Each tower in the game collects resources over time. The towers also receive resources when their minions destroy an opponent's orb or hit the opponent's tower.Enemy towers release an orb every 30 resources, which flies towards your tower. You can fend them off with your orbs. There are 3 different orbs that you can summon using the number buttons.
