Very big and scary bad guys have stolen colors! The world became very dim and gray and sad and... We have to return them!
Draw runes to summon and upgrade your tiny army that will take back the colors!
To complete the level and return one of the colors, you need to capture all enemy castles and beat the boss at the end.
Summon little creatures using rune drawing board to attack enemy and defend your castle!
To spawn creatures and upgrade them, draw runes on the drawing board.
Press LMB on rune, then press LMB on any other rune to create a connection. You can make up to 4 connections.
You can only choose rune which has no connections, but it is possible to cross the same rune several times. It will double or triple its effect.
When you're done, press "Done" button. You can erase drawing with "Erase" button if you need to redraw it.
There are several types of runes:
Spawners make new creatures.
Upgrades increase their stats, making them stronger.
Heal restores their health.
Lock prevents from making a connection through them.
Level is divided into waves. Before wave start you have some time to create and upgrade your creatures.
The wave ends when you capture enemy castle - beat all enemy creatures and reach the building.
The wave starts after countdown reaches zero and last rune is drawn.
There are 3 unit classes: Warrior, Tank, and Mage. The rules are the same as for Rock-paper-scissors:
Warrior beats Tank
A lot of damage.
Tank beats Mage
A lot of health.
Mage beats Warrior
Ranged attacks.
Usually you should make balanced teams consisting of all three unit classes.
