How to play
Start with the visible goal, make your move, and build on the result.
01
Choose a stage, then tap enemies advancing along the three lanes to damage and destroy them before they reach your core.
02
Save your cooldown-gated lane blast for a crowded wave to clear an entire lane at once.
03
Survive as many waves as the stage requires — an enemy that reaches the core deals damage equal to its remaining health, and the run ends at zero core health.
What to expect
Waves escalate, so timing your lane blast matters.
Infection ramps enemy count, health, and speed every wave, with a real risk-reward decision about when to use your area blast.
Real hit points
Every enemy needs multiple hits to destroy, so triage across lanes actually matters.
Tactical area blast
A cooldown-gated blast clears a full lane — save it for when you need it most.
